I always tend to write in third person, but mostly because I change which character's head I'm writing inside.... But I prefer to read in first person. It seems so much more personal and easier to relate to the character when it's narrated first person. Be warned, though: if you write in first person, you need to be very carefull to create a character that your reader will sympathise with. Otherwise the reader gets bored because they can't understand why the narator's thinking the way he does and you wont be able to hold them for very long... but if you do it right, emotional scenes become so much more personal to the reader, because it's easier to imagine just how the main character's feeling.
