If you get your animal spayed or neutered - it doesn't make any difference what you get. If you want puppies - get a female. If not don't worry about it. The personality and the way the puppy is raised makes more difference in the long run.

Yes, there are differences. After living with corgis for the past 27+ years, IMO the males are a little more mellow, more willing to please. The females are a bit more independent.
I have intact males and they do not try to mate with anything that stands still. That is something that you can allow or not and I do NOT!
Mounting behavior can also be a dominace posture. It can happen with altered dogs or dogs of the same sex too. And again you can tell them to knock it off.
I think there are personality differences in the sexes and altering a dog does not change that.
