A good shooter is a good shooter so I don't really have a preference. THAT SAID. FPS platforming is plain horrible and jumping puzzles in FPS are a horrible disease. *ahem*
I think anyway. But I agree with earlier posts in that 3PSs can have more features. FPS are usually quite similar, it takes something special for an FPS to stand out, 3PSs have an easier time of it, but I go to them for different things really.

Since i'm a PC gamer,i mainly prefer FPSes,but you know what? It fucking depends. Gears of War was pretty okay,as was Mass Effect (okay,it was Action-RPG,but still),and i simply cannot imagine first-person open-world game. When someone will create one of these,it will be pretty damn groundbreaking.
Third Person because I like playing video games. I like seeing my character. Being someone who actually understands how to aim a real gun makes FPS seem really inaccurate and hard to play. For some reason my mind wraps around aiming a 3rd person weapon a lot easier.

Basically.
Some "shooters" deserve TPS or FPS depending on what it is. Doom 3 would not be very good third person. Gears of War would not be very good first person. It wouldn't help the game.
Something like Mirror's Edge might do well in third person, but I honestly really enjoyed the FP view. Sure, I didn't like falling 20 times before I started to understand the movement, but once I got it, it was very liberating and enjoyable.
Something like GTA3 would be pretty effing amazing as a FPS, but again, I enjoyed it in third person anyway, minus some clunky keyboard/mouse controls, but it got better once I got used to the port.
Generally, I like a first-person view, but hey, in Battlefield I would constantly change it in a plane (first person to make sure I'm above horizon, dogfight, etc, 3rd to aim bombs), and in Duke Nukem 3D deathmatch you'd switch to third person to see around corners and stuff.
In something like Trackmania, I prefer third person, in something like Wing Commander I like first person, in something like Descent I prefer first person, in something like Starfox I prefer third person...
it hard for me say witch one because i feel that both of them work really well like 3rd person shooters wasnt that good in the past but lately they have picked up the slack and can be just as good or some times better than most first person shooters. i think games with a covering systerm are always best in third person because the view makes it easier to look for cover, but in general i do favour the first person shooters rather than the 3rd i just seem to feel more like the character that i am playing as plus i think big scary monster seem to have the same effect on me as the brown note more when am looking threw the characters perpective because in TFP the scary ghoulies seem further away and less scary.
