Two cats - both boys or both girls?

I'm planning to get a couple of tonks, either two boys or two girls --
I understand they're happier in pairs if they'll be left alone during
the day. Are there any considerations in choosing whether to get two
boys or two girls, however? I do plan to have them fixed as early as is
appropriate, so hopefully there won't be territorial issues or fighting
if there's a tom hanging about outside.
I have two female Tonkinese that came from
different litters, same breeder, in age a month
apart but I got them at the same time as kittens.
They are fine together, even though very different
in personality. One (Ephiny) acts more like a
stereotypical Burmese - friendly, laid back,
outgoing. The other (Lao Ma) is more like a
stereotypical Siamese - nervous, territorial, a bit
standoffish, although she loves being groomed.
I would think two males or even a male and a
female would also do well together, as long as
they're "fixed" at the appropriate age and are
raised together from kittenhood.
