I have also seen where they continually mark their territory and fight with other male dogs more and they don't make nearly as nice of a family pet.

From what Peggy and Debbie have suggested, there is a difference between personality and behavior. Unneutered dogs can certainly exhibit all the undesireable behaviors you mentioned, and still have wonderfully sweet, happy personalities.
I'm waiting to have Charlie neutered until 12-14 months because of a desire to do athletics, and research suggesting that agility, flyball, and other "sports" dogs may suffer fewer bone and muscle problems by neutering after one year. However (BIG however) he started marking everything about a month ago, and I'm just counting the days (months) to have him neutered. I also think the extra testosterone spikes are causing a bigger problem with his teenage attention span, making training more difficult right now. But his personality is still sweet, happy, funny Charlie.
