I prefer the 3rd person look, generally scaled down a bit so you can see a good bit behind the player. Then you can tell what is going on all around you, and better judge where you are.

I mean sure there is strafing and you can just turn the mouse to look behind you, but you will always be blindsided on 3 sides which I can't truely say is very fair.
Some of them do it very well with sound effects, sences and things that make ti more real like being able to look certain ways.
