Which three skills would you choose for a rogue’s Expertise feature assuming thieves’ tools was chosen at first level?
Would any of the resulting seven choices change with a second rogue in the same party?
Perception, stealth, and investigation. It's very typically rogue imo.
depend what you want your rogue role to be:
To deal damage take stealth: If you attack from hiding you have advantage, if you have advantage you have sneak attack. If your a halfling or wood elf you can easyly hide every round
To be a good scout take perception so you can see something to report during your scouting trip. I like insight as well for a scout so if you spy ona conversation or something you can know if what you hear was legit.
To get out of trouble, Persuasion/Intimidation or Deception can be very interesting to talk your way out of a sticky situation and gain the upper hand again as see in Giant In the Playground And Yes, There is a Santa Claus (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0767.html) strip
.
How are you getting 3? I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious. I am only seeing 2 in the expertise description. I was thinking the reading meant 1 skill and the skills made using the tools, or 2 skills. I'm getting ready to work on a rogue and want every advantage I can get lol :P
I'd definitely do stealth, and I like the idea of the double prof bonus on the tools skills as well.
Perception I think is always useful as well.

Acrobatics or Athletics would be an option to resist shove/grapple/proning, Athletics is the recommended option of the two since it gives a boost when you try to shove/grapple/prone someone else
