I agree with Bob Avery that it depends on the story. Also depends on whether the author can carry it off in a way that doesn't confuse the reader. Do what the story demands, and don't do something just for attention. I've published many short stories, and 90% of them are in first person. They sound better in first person, but I doubt I'd want to write a full novel in first person. Many readers don't like first person.
