Threadly reminder to read Aristotle's Rhetoric Book 3 and at least watch the Pullum on Passives summary before posting anything here.

I mostly do 1st and 3rd omniscient, I feel like I can really speak in a stronger narrator voice by having a single clear narrator.

It's a stylistic choice for each story. Think of your narrators as a characters in their own right - they can be very reserved/neutral and repeat only what characters see, or they can lean into the story to weigh in with their own thoughts. Also they can either know everything about the world as a god/storyteller, be a part or it, or juat be a near blank slate "camera" relaying information as the characters see it. They can speak plainly, with humor, lyrically, with depression, etc. to varying degrees.
