I think POV is entirely opinion and that any story can be told in any POV and told well as long as the author is comfortable writing in that POV.
I think any plot can be told from any POV, but they will result in different stories.

Just please, don't make it present tense unless there's a really, really good reason.
I used to hate first person because I've read so much of it done just too badly. Your character has to be really strong to be a first person narrator, otherwise you just have a bland, boring lens to view the action.The major issue with first person as far as I can tell is that done badly, it's much much more horrible than third person done badly. It's a real challenge to do it well. First person's bad reputation derives I think in part from this unfortunate fact, and also in part because some people just don't like it. Which is fair enough.

I think 1st person is best used when the story is character driven. It has a closer connection to the MC's emotions, thoughts, feelings, reactions and beliefs. 3rd person is best for plot driven because it shows and doesn't tell the way 1st person tends to do. When explaining 1st and 3rd person, I always use TWILIGHT and HARRY POTTER.
I meant well-developed or interesting.Maybe you meant to word this differently? Because as it is, you're conflating two separate things.
