By position:
Bagwell 1B
Altuve 2B
Correa SS
Caminiti 3B (tough choice over Bregman, defense puts him in front IMO)
Cruz LF
Cedeno CF
Springer RF
Biggio C
Berkman DH (I know he was 1B primarily but can’t leave him off
Richard
Ryan
Scott
Oswalt
Wilson
Wagner
Smith
Lidge
Didn’t include guys like JV, Cole etc who just weren’t there long enough IMO

Leaders in Fangraphs WAR
1. Jeff Bagwell 80.2
2. Craig Biggio 65.8
3. Big Puma 51.4
4. Jose Cruz 47.8
5. Cesar Cedeno 46.6
6. Roy Oswalt 46.3
7. Jose Altuve 40.3
8. Jimmy Wynn 38.7
9. Nolan Ryan 36.6
10. J.R. Richard 32.4
Is that just with the Astros or full career?
I would assume just with Astros or Nolan would be way higher.

Just with Astros. Otherwise, players like Ryan and Clemens would rank a lot higher.

Cesar Cedeno might have been the most physically gifted 5-tool player the Astros had until George Springer came along. Injuries and some off-field stuff derailed his stardom but he still had a good, long career.
J.R. Richard is the most dominant pitcher the Astros had but the stroke ended his career just as he was harnessing his control.

Just with the Astros. As you might expect Nolan Ryan had a very long career and easily exceeded 36.6 WAR.
HoF WAR at the very lowest end hovers around 50. Getting 60 career WAR pretty much ensures your HoF induction unless you're like Pete Rose, or the PED guys.

Big Puma has to be in consideration.
Obviously Bigs and Bagwell.

Cedeno was considered the next Willie Mays when he came up, but no one could live up to that.

Altuve for his clutchness. The Astros 2nd baseman all time roster is legit, Altuve, Biggio, Kent, Morgan.
