I mix but I don't like how it zooms into the character when you put your weapon away/put spells away. There's a mod on PC which changes how it works, but unfortunately I can't play Skyrim on PC anymore, only Xbox 360.

I never use third person on archer characters since it's hard to judge how high to aim with the bow in third person because obviously the arrows dip and they also go higher in close range engagments.

However when I use 2 handed/melee sneak characters I always use third person, for 2h characters it is very useful since the power attacks can hit the sides, behind etc and you can swing your character around to hit someone behind you and when you get the perk where you can hit lots of people, I find it easier being able to see my surroundings and getting the most people into my swing for max damage.

I think most people including me use third person when exploring the wilds since it's good to see all your surrondings so nothing gets the drop on you.

But assuming you can play as well or better in third person, it is technically always superior since you can see a hell of a lot more than in first person.
