Sorry to break in on this but good use of POV really makes or breaks a story. You're right to do a lot of thinking about it. What might help you decide is to consider making the viewpoint character the one who has the most at stake/most to gain or lose (emotionally, physically, whatever) in the scene you're writing.

You know, I've found that to be very true. Usually I write in first-person female POV. For some reason with the story I'm writing now, it's third-person limited omniscence, and a male character. It makes things... interesting, to say the least, and I'm pleasantly surprised how well it's going for me.

It's just that I'm used to writing shor short children's stories. If I write stories with two or more viewpoint characters, alarm bells start going offf! :)
