If your main character is a mage and you dual-class your character to a fighter, do you get the fighter stronghold or the mage stronghold?

You should be able to get both. From my experience, if you get the mage stronghold first, you'll definitely get the fighter strong hold afterwards. When I did Nalia's quest first, however, I got the castle but not the planar sphere. As far as I know, if you choose right path at the end of the planar sphere quest, you should be able to get the sphere as well.

I think what you have to do to be able to get both strongholds is that when you have completed the D'Arnise Quest and Nalia asks you to take care of the keep.....then you have to say that you will "think about it" or something along those lines......then do the Planar Sphere....make it your stronghold and now go back to the keep and say that you will accept the ownership.......

There should be plenty of threads in this forum about having more than one stronghold during one game.........read them for more information.......

AFAIK, Nalia's Castle is the only stronghold you can get if you already have another one - and then only if you solve that quest first and delay the decision.
