First/Third person?

Apologies for this not being a story (and if you deem it necessary to move this thread, then go ahead, but please don't yell at me over my error); I am very curious about which writing style you generally prefer and more importantly, why you prefer it. Please don't just vote or post one-liners. If you vote/reply, I really would appreciate some sort of explanation.

Exempli gratia, "I prefer first-person because it gives a better look into what the narrator/main character is thinking", or "I prefer third-person because first-person limits the story too much", et cetera. If you like both styles equally, why? If you like one more than the other, why? Would you change your viewpoints for different genres (an action-based story versus a drama-based story) of writing?

Thank you.
