I think polearm master with a spear (or quarterstaff) is still, within the white walls of the kingdom of Theorycraftia, the most powerful feat for one handed weapon usage (nothing really beats getting reliable extra attacks), but that probably demands having a magic spear and being married to that as your primary weapon to be viable, and the bonus action attacks no longer work on turns when you use smite anyway. Really I'd probably go with Shield Master (knocking enemies prone with shield bashes will lock them down, and sometimes generate advantage for you once you have extra attack) or Sentinal (some extra opportunity attacks and another enemy locking down feature), because the rest of your party are full casters and you want to keep the wrong enemies from getting toe to toe with them. At level 8 probably take Resiliant for Constitution since you have an odd number in it, and Con saves are important.Based on your party I'd say go Oath of Vengeance. I think the subclass features are pretty evenly matched really (I think Oath of Devotion would come out ahead, because it's channel divinity is useful in any fight, whereas the Vengeance Paladin's is only really for the fight with one or a few big targets but how much this matters depends on the campaign). But the Oath of Devotion spells are basically all Cleric spells, so unless maybe the Cleric is playing some sort of really idiosyncratic Cleric they've probably got it covered. You are probably covering most of the martial department for your party given the composition, and being able to Hunter's Mark an enemy or close gaps with Misty Step could be pretty clutch on that front (if you can stand the frustration of sometimes not having your bonus action available to smite).</blockquote>
