I find I ramble more in first person present. This can be a good thing when every word counts... But I can't really say what story type best fits a POV/tense. I write in first person present and third person present and very rarely in past tense. It's just what my style has become. But really, if you're comfortable with first person present, then use it. Why do you feel it becomes so tiresome to read?

And if it really becomes an issue, you can always switch half-way through. Pain, I know, but don't worry about the pages written in the wrong POV, just make sure you write in the new POV and after November is over, go back and rewrite.
