I started with 3rd person and found that it works well, especially as I moved into more story writing. I agree with shadyfighter that 3rd person also works better when managing more than one character e.g. in a three-way or a tag team match.
First-person is my preference when RPing with someone with whom I have good chemistry.
First person is my go-to writing style, just because it's what I'm used to.
That said, I'm not too picky about that kind of thing, so long as responses are descriptive.
Typically, I mimic the style of whoever I'm rp'ing with; 9 times out of 10 that's first-person
In almost every case, I use first person for myself and second person for my partner (i.e., “you”). Third person can be OK for setup posts before the two characters have met face to face, but after that point, put it away. I’ve had people refer to me in third person in the middle of a fight, and honestly, it feels dehumanizing. I consider it a red flag in most cases, with the exception being if the other person is not fluent in English (and maybe 3rd person is just easier for them).
That’s my preference. I’m not saying that there aren’t potentially scenarios that might call for using third person, but for 1-on-1 role play, first (and second) person POV is the most immersive and respectful way to write with a partner, IMHO.
I prefer first person too, it does roleplaying looks more real. Interpretation of character works better and it's even more easy to write.
I only use 3rd person if I play using 2 or more characters into the game.
When I roleplay, I like to imagine myself in the situation, so I always use first person and want my opponents/writing partners to do the same. Third person seems detached and "cold", and it just doesn't work for me. That said, I am not advocating for people who have been RPing in third person to stop doing that. What's a drawback for me might be the advantage for them. I could imagine that if the RP is about something you're not yet fully comfortable with, it would be easier to write about someone else doing these things.
I am still rather new to cyber fights. I've done a few, most of which are in third person. I am not sure which one I should go for during a fight. Are there any pros and cons to those points of views? Should I favor one over another? What do you suggest I go for?

I couldn’t do third person.
