The best Advanced Learning Spells for the first use of the ability are Ghoul Glyph and Kelgor's Grave Mist. Which you take is up to you, but those are the only ones worth considering (everything else either does something you already can do or is really lame).

It's a much harder decision after that... Consumptive Field, Shivering Touch, Awaken Undead, Animate Dread Warrior, Avasculate, Haunt Shift, Black Sand... there's just so many good options.

As for feats, Tomb Tainted Soul is perfect if you're not going to be a Necropolitan. The Corpse Crafter line is fun if the DM allows you to actually have minions (I've found many DMs get annoyed at you for having minions, which can be really lame). Imperious Command is pure gold.
