I generally prefer third person, but first person can work, too, if the voice is distinctive and to my liking.
Present tense tends to make my toenails curl, but it can work for flash fiction or short stories. I think present tense works better in first person than third.
Second person, the few times I've come across it, makes me angry, particularly when the narrative is trying to dictate what a certain event makes me think or feel.
