As a child that was the case for me, Tennant was what really captivated 12 year-old me back in the day. But now I have kinda gravitated toward a few.
2, 6 (in Big Finish), 7, 8 and 10 are my favourites out of all of them.

Nah, started with Eccleston, but Tennant is the best Doctor.
Tom Baker was my first and remains my favorite, so much so I actually cried when he appeared as the curator. For me it was a really emotional moment, stupid I know but it was like a direct road back to my childhood which for me , luckily was a largely happy time.
Nope. 4 was my first, faves are 12, 2 & 5. Hubs first was 9, but 10 is his Doctor.
I started watching with 11, but my favourite is 12. 7 and 3 come closely behind. And Big Finish 6. You know what? I love nearly all of them with a few exceptions.
I have a weird problem. I start out not liking the new Doctor, but by the time they switch, they have become my favorite. Every time.
I absolutely hated Capaldi at first, but after the infinite loop prison episode, I couldn't imagine any other person ever being the doctor again.
Now I feel the same way about Jodie. She was such a fun Doctor that I'm actually sad to see Tennent back.
The pattern does not hold for me.
When I started watching it was on PBS in the United States in the 1980s, and they showed the Doctors in mixed-up order. The Doctor who first caught my eye was Tom Baker, the most popular by far among US viewers and also the one most likely to turn up in the reruns simply because they were rebroadcasting (mostly) stuff from the color era; I loved the grinning madman with jellybabies and scarf with the blasts of Douglas Adams humor. However, when I grew to have a truly favorite Doctor I realized I was a Colin Baker fan and still am.
Your theory kiiiiinda works for me. I started watching Classic Who, and the actor I started with is my favourite - Tom Baker.
I've been watching Nu Who from the beginning, and my favourite out of those actors is Peter Capaldi.
