Write something in first person, then write the same thing in third person. Read both, and decide which one you like more.

I prefer fourth. But you should choose depending on your genre and story. First person creates closer connection and relatability, but third person allows for more individuality. If your main focus is a feeling you should use first person, if the character - third person.
