How did you handle Keira?
I've completed two playthroughs now, and just couldn't justify taking her in in either one. She'd just proved herself untrustworthy, and declared her intentions to give Radovid, who has a hard-on for burning mages and freaks, whatever she could to buy his mercy regardless of who else it might hurt. Somehow giving her directions to the Witcher hideout just didn't seem like a great idea, however fun she is to be around. Especially not with Vesemir in the process of covering the tracks to the fortress. And especially not just to save her from bedbugs, even if it'd be unbecoming of a gentleman to voice a thought like that out loud.
I didn't kill her either, just gave her mildly disappointed and vaguely sympathetic looks and wished her good luck with Radovid. She's an adult, after all. Her and Geralt saying goodbye without loud and pointless recriminations is very bittersweet, and the cutscene with Triss taking her down from the stake is legitimately sad and beautiful. All in all I'm very satisfied.
That said, it seems that one of the hidden achievements requires her presence at the battle with the Wild Hunt, which makes me quite annoyed that I didn't save her in one of the playthroughs now that I've started trophy-hunting.
