Which Gender Should I Choose?

I have a two year old Aussie female now and I am looking to get another Aussie pup. The dog I have now is spayed, (she was spayed before her first heat) and the next dog I get will be fixed as well (no matter the sex). My boyfriend and I have already found a few breeders that are having litters around the time we are looking to get a new puppy. I told them all that we are looking to get a male. Initially, we wanted a male because I have heard that two females together can get very territorial and aggressive. But, I am worried about the male marking. I guess I just want some feedback about which gender I should get.

Are there still problems and personality differences when both dogs are fixed as soon as they can be?
