What is the 3 best feats to take and skills for a 2 handed weapon vengeance paladin? Ill also consider oathbreaker if its better

Skilled, Performer and maybe Spell Breaker

[Rex is back, baby!]

What is your paladin's role? Pure dps? Utility and support? tanking?
Are you strength heavy or charisma heavy?

Do you whack with your weapon more, or use your spells/smites more?

It really is dependent on your playstyle, outside of the ABI.

I would recomend pole arm mastery over great weapon fighting, unless you don't want to use glaives/halberds/etc.

Sentinel is AMAZING on a paladin.

War caster is great if you use concentration spells a lot.

You want a larger health pool? Get Tough
You want more mobility because you don't have much as a Vengeance? Get Mobile.

Preformer gives charisma and the ability to play music proficiently too :)

You should consider Multiclassing as a warlock.

Can you sell your soul twice?

Is it worth taking tough feat first? Or is it better to take it when you got more levels stacked to increase its effectiveness later?

No, hit points are mostly a meme.
Stack damage, attack from hidden / invisible, profit.
Think DOS2 optimization.

It doesn't matter when you take Tough, its impact is HP based on your level always, so it scales with your level regardless of when you take it. That doesn't really make it a great feat either way, though.

I went with asi for 4th and 8th (str) and savage for 12th, smites are hitting like a truck with almost always +80% chance so I'm happy

Apparently the PotB Warlock's extra attack stacks with the Paladin's extra attack right now (bug, but might not be fixed), so a Warlock 5/Paladin 5 gets 3 attacks per action like a level 11 Fighter.

I'm playing a Paladin/Sword Bard right now. Pretty fun, but more of a Bard with smites+healing than a Paladin. The flourishes are fun, particularly the defensive one that grants a +4 to AC.

Depends on your Patron not all want your soul.

but if you want an RP reason for it, Choose Archfey because Titania fits it perfectly for a Paladin/Warlock multiclass Patron. She's an Archfey, She's "good", and she's a known patron for warlocks across multiple realms.

GWM is the BIGGEST DAMAGE Increase for martial classes, offering damage and an extra attack.

If you're using a 2 handed weapon, at all, I don't see why you wouldn't take this feat.

It even works with polearms, AND polearm master
