Absolutely gender of voice makes a difference.
In general, both men and women respond better to a female speaker's voice, although I have found that using both at once has an effect in a different direction that overrules and overpowers any lesser effect adding in a male voice might have, so I use both at once.
EDIT: Unless the sub is mono-gender usage only, and then in some cases, that gender of voice will be the only one used, depending on the goals of the sub.
