Air and Earth are probably the strongest elements at their base, plus you're very rarely in a position where you don't have access to either, especiqlly air. Firebenders can also get fire out of nothing but ambient heat, but fire is a much more limited element in terms of what you can do with it, so they get a massive power boost every 100 years (plus they completely lose access during total eclipses).The power boost waterbenders get during the full moon doesn't feel nearly as substantial as what firebenders get during Sozin's Comet, and generally has the most limits in terms of access, so getting that boost every month feels pretty fair.
