So, i'm writing a book.

I'm sure you're writing a book as well.

And so, the question is; what is the best writing style?

First person, third person, narration, disappearing narrator?

Opinions, please.

Second person.

Not even joking, my writing flows a lot better when I imagine I'm dictating the character around.

I have no idea how I'm going to rewrite it to first/third person.

There is no best. Use all of them.

it depends on the book. don't go to first person unless you have a good reason to, that's a mistake a lot of people make
