I would do like you and others have said and choose the cat that chooses you. However in my experience boys are more cuddly and there is a better chance of them taking to the opposite sex. We had this dilemma and got a girl because she chose us at a local farm but the two girls are quite hissy and only live alongside one another. I would have liked them to be friends but Star (my ginger girl) is very stuck in her ways. I have never heard that ginger girls can't have kittens (think that is tortie boys although not always the case) plus it wouldn't really matter as you wouldn't be breeding a rescue moggy anyway
Good luck with your search and do let us know what happens and post some pics
