I tend to go with the Feanorian descent of Celebrimbor mainly due to the fact of his great skills in creating things. The noldor were greater smiths than the Teleri, and since it is said that Celebrimbor was one of the greatest smiths, perhaps second only to Feanor, (I'm sure I read this somewhere), to me this points to a noldorian ancestry.
