According to this forum post, the following are their ratings for each crafting guild for early content of the game (considering the player's financial and the items' usefulness):
Acquired Taste - 1 ✔✖✖✖✖ Merry Potters - 4 ✔✔✔✔✖ Soul Wardens - 3 ✔✔✔✖✖ Earthseers - 4 ✔✔✔✔✖ Silver Cauldron - 1 ✔✖✖✖✖ Radiant Ring - 3 ✔✔✔✖✖ Forge Keepers - 2 ✔✔✖✖✖
For my first character to hit level 15, I choose Earthseers mainly for the seals and Silver Cauldron since it has the same gathering guilds it needs as Earthseers.
