Whatever you can afford to create tons of at first. Mostly just basic infantry and cavalry. Take notice how some troops can be hold by only specific types of swords, so no use going for elite troops until you have oodachi, or spearmen until yari/naginata. It's better to try creating dmg-dealing troops and more specific ones once you've got enough resources to spare - and when your swords can hold longer onto them.

First specific troops I started to create after infantry/cavalry were catapults and archers, since those are roughly for tantou/wakizashi/uchigatana and those types of swords are most useful (and plentiful) during early- to mid-game. Later you're likely to focus more on tachi and rarer, which cannot hold those dmg-dealing troops.
