Make a list of combos you want to make someday. If you see a lot of pastel based combos, you may want to get a pastel male so you can use him with multiple females. Conversely, if you see a lot of spider combos on your future wish list, you may want to get a male spider.
I didn't even THINK to consider it this way, which is silly since I've seen so much advice in my research to look and plan ahead. Thank you!

Given this piece of advice, looks like I'm going with a male pastel/female spider.
