I actually had the opposite reaction to Aang and Sokka -- I loved Aang from pretty much his first appearance, whereas Sokka's teenage boy asshole moments grated on me during the first season. I'm a sucker for overly excitable and happy preteen protagonists, though, and by the second season I was over any lingering Sokka-distaste and loved everybody!
Also, though I got into the series too late to be part of the fandom, I have heard that the Big Ship War was between Aang/Katara fans and Zuko/Katara fans, so you're definitely not alone there.
