Question is this; should she go for a male or female?
Its all depend of the person choice .

What is the difference in terms of behavior?
There are not very much difference .

Is it true that males are more affectionate?
Yes , a male is more affectionate .

Are females more independent, aloof?
Females are affectionate too but have mood swing .
Do males after being neutered mark, hump?
Females mark and hump too .
Which is easier to housebreak, male or female?
Housebreaking always depend on how you involve yourself . I have male and female puppies and never had difficulties with this issue .

Which is better for a woman who needs a true companion but isnt needy or insecure?
Its all depend of the person .

Also, her do would be hanging with my two females. Is it better if she got a male or is it better to have a female.

One more thing. My friend is not discipline oriented (she's been a cat person for years) but she is learning that she needs to be firm, will she be better off with a male or female?
She will be better with the sex she choose . Its a waist of time to tell a person she will be better with a male if that person want a female and vice versa . If she let the pup or adult choose her , she will not have much problems .

Thanks for your help.
