Welcome. Good for you for taking in a rescue bengal, and having the patience to work through all the problems with a cat like that. That's really admirable. Much respect to you for achieving what you've achieved there.
I can't really offer any advice re: male-to-male or male-to-female is more desirable, as I don't really have any experience with that. I think there was a chapter in "Cat vs Cat" that discussed that topic, breaking down gender-to-gender interactions, as well as age-to-age interactions. I don't recall what their gender recommendation was, all I'm certain of is that they said what everyone says, and that is that "adult to adult" is the toughest combination of ages to manage.
I'm always a little bit skeptical when someone suggests that their adult cat needs another cat companion (the scene where Homer Simpson buys Marge a bowling ball for her birthday comes to mind for some reason). I get that some kittens that grow up together retain a close relationship into, and sometimes through, their adult years. But most of the time they'd be happiest on their own with their humans imo. But you know the personality of your kitty, so you're the best person to make that determination/guess.
