Melee touch attacks roll to hit with STR, ranged touch attacks roll to hit with DEX. You can pick up weapon finesse to use DEX for melee touch attacks though.

If it becomes a ranged touch attack, DEX replaces STR for to hit.

If you want to specialize in melee touch spells, I think the best class to pick would be an abyssal sorcerer.

They get +6 strength naturally just by leveling up, which makes their touch spells even more accurate and effective, they get the bull's strength spell naturally, and if you get spells like mirror image, displacement and blur in addition to touch spells you are basically untouchable.

Add in the claws you get and an abyssal sorcerer is a melee dps killing machine.

Fair warning touch spells are bugged currently and metamagic won't work with them. Something to keep in mind as it can hurt touch magic a lot.
