Earthbending, for two reasons:
1.) Toph
2.) Earthbending seems to be the most versatile of the four elements. Besides basic earth, there's sandbending, lavabending, seismic sense, metalbending, the wall running/climbing thing the Dai Li have been shown to do, crystalbending, and mudbending.
While this is totally true, I personally don't find Earth appealing at all. In our modern day lives, it's pretty useless. Unless you're a construction worker or artist. With airbending though, I could fly to work. fly over traffic. be aware of my environment. sense things in the air. kinda like spidey sense.

Water, because magic healing.
Also, being able to bend water out of dirt and plants and even the air would be a really awesome survival skill if I was ever stranded in the wilderness or something.
Airbending is a close second, because being able to fly seems like a sweet deal.
I'd consider firebending just to be able to keep myself warm... but fire scares me, lol, so I'd be a pretty pathetic firebender.
And in the same vein, I wouldn't be able to earthbend. I'm too squishy. I can see myself having the same trouble with it as Aang did initially. D:
I'm totally on the same page as you, Same reasons, but slightly different order. air first for flying, water second for survival, and fire last cuz I don't ever want to hurt someone. I'm squishy too, but can toughen up when I need to, so earth is third. People who picked fire first scare me.

Type of bender I would WANT to be? A waterbender.
Type of bender I would most likely be? An airbender.
lol. I'm the opposite of that. As much as I want air, I'd probably be water.
