Enjoying the experience is a combination of personal feelings and knowing the extent of the element, so the best we can do as inform you and then you'll have to take it from there. Personally, I enjoyed all the elements, almost equally, however, my personal feelings towards airbending puts it on top.
I wouldn't say air is less potent than firebending in PvE, it's all just a matter of how you use it. PvE with airbending to me is more convenient in a lot of cases - especially survival. You can move at faster speeds consistently to evade mobs, you can use your bending to block all (regular) attacks, you can levitate over an army of mobs until you're safe, and even other things. Offensively, you could blast them back or into the air, whirl them up into a tornado, attack multiple mobs grouped together (even with a charged attack), push them into a body of water to slow them down and isolate or even just go in yourself to get away.
Every form of bending benefits in PvE differently, especially depending on how you use it. I mean, I can understand why fire is considered more potent, but I personally just don't see it. When I play as a firebender it always takes more effort to kill more mobs because I have to string together fire attacks, and the burning doesn't seem to kill them as quickly as I'd think it would. As an airbender I'd just launched them into the air and done - they're dead as soon as they hit the ground. I feel airbending has much greater control over the mobs, the mobs feel so slow and I can incapacitate them with minimal effort, it feels much more dominant in PvE, more versatile than firebending. Anyway, that's how it is for me personally, I reckon others will state differently.
