I have listened to a couple of hundred audiobooks on my daily commute over the past few years. I don't really care if it is a female voice or a male voice, as long as they read it well, with differentiation so I can tell who is speaking. Luke Daniels is very good, Dick Hill is great for the Jack Reacher books. A good reader makes me forget about the narration and lets me immerse myself into the story. Bad narrators make me quit listening and return the book. A good example is Artie Johnson doing the new Carl Hiaasen book - just awful.
