I believe the first avatar was most likely an Earthbender for a couple of reasons.

Earth is the representation of spring which is in turn is the beginning of the yearly growth cycle. Also Water which is also represented as Winter and is often considered the end of the yearly cycle.

The Chinese calendar also starts with Spring (Chinese New year is in March)
