The best feats for Astarion improve his abilities in combat, particularly with regard to sneaking, avoiding damage, or dealing more damage. Some feats listed above are only useful if you are using the proper fighting style.
Alertis a great feat, especially for the Assassin subclass. The +5 bonus to initiative ensures you are more likely to go first and trigger the subclass ability.Ability Score Improvementhas a similar effect, as it allows you to increase your Dexterity, which increases your initiative bonus. Increasing Dexterity also improves your armor class and chance to hit.
Defensive DuelistandDual Wielderare great combat feats, but they depend on whether you use a single weapon or dual-wielding. Defensive Duelist allows you to temporarily increase your AC, while Dual Wielder does the same and improves your two-weapon fighting. With patch 4, Dual Wielder lost the ability normally given to two-weapon fighting regarding ranged weapons, so now they function as intended with the feat.
