Re: Which tense to use...
I do third person in past tense. That is my default, since I oftentimes have more than one perspective.

I have only written in first person once (not sure of the tenses, since I lost the novel). With my second novel, which I have left behind to too many problematic tropes in it.

And I definitely prefer past tense over present tense.
