I generally use the feats with more flavor because those are the feats that people always liked, but never really get a chance to take.   I pick the reward based on who it is coming from or how it relates to the story. For example, I gave a player the 4e Aberrant Mark of Madness (modified for 5e) as a reward for experience a mental assault from a powerful Far Realm creature.
