Airbenders don't suck. Ever heard of an air slice. >.<

Anyways, it would have to be a bender that specialized in something that could get them out. I assume not all Earthbenders still can't bend metal, so a metal prison would generally work. Platinum can't be bent even by metal benders (I don't know why) so a cell with that could hold them. For airbender you would need a very confined cell to weaken their airbending, or they could just slice their way out. For waterbenders you need a prison with guards and minimal water, so that they can't escape. Although bloodbenders would present an additional challenge. For firebenders, most don't know pure heat techniques that could get them out. And I would assume regular flames are not hot enough to get them out. Although, it was shown lightning could cut through metal. So maybe not. I don't know. You would have to be much more creative with the prisons, but as benders are common I'm sure plenty of creative prisons exist.
