I have one of each both desexed at the same early age. There is only a year between them too (they're 6 and 7). I (touch wood) have had no trouble with spraying by either. They're purebred Burmese that I got as kittens and are inside cats. Not sure if that makes a diff.
Both are playful and affectionate but still cat like lazy bones he he. My boy tends to throw himself at ppl then rush off and keep to himself and doesn't like lots of noise and ppl etc whereas my girl is the opposite. She will sit back and watch first and will seem standoffish but is much more affectionate. She needs to know what is going on and loves unpacking shopping and parcels with me lol. She is also the one that will "nurse" you back to health if you're unwell. Doesn't leave your side. On the flip side if she is stressed she can be demanding. This is a bit of the Burmese too tho.
So for me, I'd go female. But each kitty is they're own. Good luck finding a new fur baby.
