Mining has to be one choice. Must have for Bronze Working in order to chop that first settler and maybe an early wonder.
I don't give a hoot for Mysticism or Hunting.
That leaves Agriculture, Fishing and the Wheel as the other choices. All are needed techs for Pottery (Ag/Fish being a choice), which is the tech I often care about after Bronze Working.
With Agriculture, I can create farms which probably won't earn me commerce, thus slowing my teching. With Wheel I get nothing immediately other than the ability to connect non-riverside resources. With fishing, I can get food and commerce.
I voted Mining+Fishing.
