Assuming you could respend a familiars feats, either via dark chaos shuffle or psychic reformation, what are the top three feats you would give a familiar if they were basically a:

Flying Scout
Stealthy Assassin (Poison)
Stealthy Assassin (Sneak Attack)
Straight Up Combat Type
Mount
Eternally Raging Badger
Elemental
Construct
Cat
Draconic
Spider
Snake

Assume you are a wizard/sorcerer.

Anything that would jump out at you as useful for the familiar is fine.

I already came up with draconic auras from elsewhere, so you can skip that.

Two feats that are good for a flyer that will be in combat are flyby attack and great flyby attack. Together they let your familiar fly by an enemy, attack, keep moving and provoke no AoOs for the whole thing. It's a good means of delivering touch spells especially.

Darkstalker is a very solid one for sneaks of all types, as the things it trumps (scent, blindsense, etc) are very common.

Construct familiars can take lifesense, which is a wonderful feat for finding people, even when they are hiding.

Familiars with venom, snakes especially, can take spit venom, which makes their poison much more useful.
