Honestly, readers won't care as long as it is written well or is really enjoyable. But one thing I particularly hate is when the writer abruptly switches between the two with the same character: it breaks immersion and makes the story feel more than a little disjointed. I'm pretty biased in liking the 1st POV in horror because I want that level of immersion and dread: like the way it was done in Cradle Song or Shock Cocoon. But there will always be exceptions like Saya no Uta which did the 3rd POV brilliantly. Don't particularly care how its done in romantic ones, those never had the immersion level for me because I always viewed it as a plain story.
