Going by pugs, which are by no means Rotties (which I love) here's what I've found:
The males are MUCH more loyal. They are also impossible to potty train. Both my neutered males still feel the need to mark everything. But they will follow me to the ends off the earth and protect their spot next to me.
The females, while not as loyal towards me are VERY protective of the house. They both bark at strangers, moving cars, dogs/animals on TV, etc. They were also a total breeze to housetrain.
Another interesting thing is that my 12 year old male has always been the alpha dog. When he would get sick, my 3 year older female (I've had them both for 10 years) would immediately take advantage of his "sickness" and try to exert more power. Now that his hind legs are failing him and he humps the other dogs by using them as a way to hold himself up (too funny to watch), I've noticed my 2.5 year old female start to try to take over the alpha dog position. This leads to much teeth gashing and such.
YMMV
