I generally prefer geldings and have had a few quirky ones however I'm not a fan of ungenuine types, if you're putting your all in it's good to feel the horse is putting effort in too.
For me Wanda would be the choice, I love her expression! She looks to jump nicely and from the pics the flat work has scope for improvement, a couple of years on she could be giving Halling a run for his money and sounds as though she would be much more versitile.
You also say Halling is still pricey for what he is and I feel he could well let you down and not be the horse you would like him to be not matter how fond of him you were. I think Wanda would be much more rewarding, you already own her so keeping her equates to much less stress and as you've already missed out on buying him once I'd say it was for a reason - to allow you to get Wanda!
