I'd be a bit inclined to go E1
You've got your 1D, 1E and 2 AW plus features, talents, race and background. So by D&D standards quite a few options for a starting character.
But not enough to cause anyone to have to think too hard
And HP are high enough without bloating, the math hasn't gone "off" yet, it all still fits on a single page with equipment on the back and the feat list is more manageable without paragon or epic
