Hamzat al-Wasl at the beginning of nouns: the rule is to start with Kasrah. Example ابْتِغَاءَ read as ibtighaa'a
Hamzat al-Wasl at the beginning of verbs: the rule is,
1. To start with Dammah if the third letter of verb has an original Dammah, example: اجْتُثَّتْ read as ujtuth'that. (Qur'an 14:26)
2. To start with Kasrah if the third letter has Fathah, Kasrah, or non-original Dammah, eg: امْشُواْ and اصْبِرُواْ, read as imshoo, and isbiroo respectively.
This rule only applies if reading the word without joining to any word before it.
