No major differences in my opinion if you want only one. Males can be possibly castrated less invasively (so surgery has less risks), but otherwise it is entirely up to you. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
