Who can suggest a good feat?

Find the Gap is not in the Duskblade spell list. So you can't learn it.

From official FAQ,

Can you take spells from spell lists other than your own with the Extra Spell feat (CAr 79)?
The Extra Spell feat allows you to choose a new spell, but it does not remove the restrictions of how you would normally pick your spells—so they must be picked from your own spell list.

Also, the spell you lean by this feat must be "at any level up to one lower than the highest level of spell you can currently cast.". So, if you take this feat at 6th-level, you can only learn one extra 0-1st duskblade spell.

Shin's right. Also, Find the Gap affects one attack per round for the duration, not all attacks.

The same benefit can be gained from a Heartseeking Amulet or the Impaling weapon property (+1 market price, piercing weapons only), both from Magic Item Compendium, both activated as swift actions for the next attack made, and both 3/day.
 


Some other ideas,

Combat Expertise + Improved Disarm combo works really well for a Duskblade as he can cast True Strike.

Similarly, Combat Expertise + Improved Trip can be a good idea as Duskblade can cast Stand spell when he is counter-tripped.

Weapon Focus & Improved Toughness are both good feat by themselves.

It depends on campaign and party configuration, but Craft Magic Arms and Armor works fine for a Duskblade, as he has full caster level.
 

Obtain familiar - not too shabby because the duskblade will have more hp, full bab and plenty of touch spells to channel. Maybe follow up with improved familiar?
 


I believe the touch spell is discharged when you hit your opponent, so it doesn't go on to affect the second target. However, if the spell you channel increases your damage, it will also increase the likelihood of dropping whoever you hit, which means you get a free cleave attack. The better your melee attacks, the better that free attack is.

Duskblades also have swift action buff spells that affect all your attacks during a round, which would include cleave attacks. Last of all, cleave is really fun!

You suggest cleave. May i ask ? Let's assume that in one round i do arcane channeling and kill my target... then i have a cleave attack at another opponent. Will the spell that i have casted on the weapon affect the second target ? Coz i think this is the reason why you suggest it.

Basically, touch spell is discharged when you hit the first target.

But at 13th level, you can use a full-attack version of Arcane Channeling and in that case the spell discharges "at end of the round" regardless if you hit any target or not. So, the spell will take effect on the target you hit with the extra attack gained by cleave. Also, "end of the round" means just before your next turn. So, someone you hit with an AoO will be affected, too.
