Which do you prefer: Third Person Omniscient or First Person?

I've always written in third person omniscient and I want to try first person but I'm afraid that most people don't like first person pieces. Gah, I really don't know. I feel like it would be easier to really flesh out my character but I'm afraid that it may turn people away from reading.

Which do you prefer and why?
Have you tried writing in a different POV and continued in that style throughout the entire writing piece?
Any tips for someone trying out first person for the first time?
Any books or writing you could recommend me so I can get a feel for first person?
