The last player (“third base”) decides after seeing everyone else’s actions.
The first player (“first base”) has to act immediately, without much information
The advantage of the late position (third base)
You see more cards dealt → you have a bit more information (especially useful for those who do card counting).
You can adjust your strategy based on the cards that have already appeared.
Some players believe that 'third base' has the responsibility to save the table if the dealer draws → in reality, mathematically, each hand is independent; your decision doesn’t 'ruin' or 'save' the other players, even if it might seem that way.
In blackjack, there are no positional advantages like in Poker.
However, if you are card counting or if you want to see what decisions other players make before you, the last position (third base) gives you a small informational advantage.
