I have had all boys, all girls except one boy and now back to all boys except one girl. I MUCH MUCH prefer all boys! Girls tend to dramatic, catty, loud and want to be entertained more (generalization, of course there are exceptions!) My 2 groups of boys were quieter, less destructive (I know, I was surprised too!) and play well with each other and none of this "I don't want to play with you today" crap. They also are great at free play and don't need me as much to lead the play.

My one dcgirl is a tomboy so it suits her just fine that she is with all boys (she was also here when it was all girls and did great then too) and my boy that was here with all the girls did great as well...he is also now here with all the boys and he much prefers wed-fri when my girl is here lol. I think he got used to all girls and now doesn't know what to do when it's all boys on mon/tues haha.

IMO, younger kids don't really care whether their friends are male or female and they don't care if they are playing with trucks or barbies. I don't have a whole lot of gender specific toys (and the few I do, I don't call them that!!) Toys are toys and anyone can play with them. Pink is not just for girls and blue isn't just for boys.

Like Mickyc said, I wouldn't turn down a family based on gender but if I had a boy and a girl and both were a good fit....my deciding factor would be gender and it would be the boy. I hope that doesn't sound bad!!
