Congrats on the potential puppy. I agree with everything said so far here... Two pups would have been insane..

They're so much work- the peeing, the chewing, the bad manners, the mischief, the nocturnal behavior...

Me too (only more like 20+ years of ownership...

).
As for future dogs, males mix with anybody (as long as they're neutered...). It's the females that are less accomodating. Two females, IMO, are harder than two males, or a male and a female (what I have).
