I really prefer the active form when reporting some original material, whatever it might be: an approach to a problem, an experimental finding, a bit of theory, ....
I also make use of the the first person as subject. In this way I take responsibility and merit. The impersonal form, both in the active and passive, seems to imply that mistakes and imprecisions just happen, out of the author's control.
