I think it entirely depends on the type of story and what you are trying to achieve by it.

I am currently working on two different writing projects. The first is a fantasy tale with several protagonists coming together to fight in a great war. The world I created is vast and therefore First-Person is far too limiting.

The second follows the journey of a girl in a time of crisis in her life so naturally the story is about the thoughts and experiences of this single character. First-Person makes much more sense.
