Boy cat or girl cat?

Hello everyone! I am looking to adopt a cat! I was curious if gender matters with cats, behavioral wise. I've only had one cat in my life, who was a girl, and she was the sweetest cat! But, my aunt has a male cat, and he is very independent and distant. Which raises the question: are girl cats better behaved, or does it matter? I know every cat is unique and different with their own little quirks, but I want to know the cat community's opinion on this.
