Getting a second horse, but what should I get? Mare or Gelding?

I've got one gelding, a very rapid (but sweet) little guy. Our second horse is going to be dead broke, whatever it is, and it has to be very calm. We want one that's going to teach him to calm down, or at least set the example. What would be best, a second gelding, or a mare? I've heard all kinds of things. It depends on the individual horse, or mares are very uppity and flakey, or a mare would be good to calm him down, or a mare would be bad because this and that, blah blah blah. Does it really even matter what sex it is, or should I aim for one over the other and simply focus on the personality of the horse? Any suggestions or experiences? Thanks!
