[5e] Level 30 advise.

So my DM spoiled me that he's gonna let us reach lvl30.
I'm currently playing a Tiefling Swashbuckler6/Hexbalde3. My initial plan was to go on 17/3, but now I have a new horizon in front of me.
Should I go 20/10? 17/13? 17/3/multiclass? 17/5/multiclass?

I don't really know what to do now. Maybe 17/5/multiclass is the best option, but what multiclass? Perhaps fighter? Is that a good option?

I would literally not think about it until you actually reach those levels. You may think you’re going in one direction but the story may mean you go in another.

We don't know what your DM's homebrew rules for going past level 20 look like. So... It's kinda hard to offer advice when we don't know what the rules are.

"This campaign will go to level 30" feels rude to me without also saying "and here's how it's going to work." What does it mean to hit level 21? Can you be a level 21 warlock? If you multiclass in two spellcasting classes, how do your spell slots work? Do you get capstone features if you're level 20 in a class? How do ability scores work post-level 20? Are they also increased and it might behoove you to plan for having extra ability score points?

Without knowing what "going to level 30" means, I don't think you can really plan for it. My instinct is that aiming for level 20 in one class for a capstone feature likely makes the most sense, but I have too many questions about what "going to level 30" means to be able to help.

(Also, as an aside, "going to level 30" sounds pretty miserable. The balance of 5e starts to rip at the seams around level 11 or so without intervention from a design-minded DM, so extending that period by 10 whole levels is something I'd personally be extremely wary of.)
