I would just have both dogs fixed at the same time. That way you won't have one dog wanting to play while the other needs to be kept calm, you can just try to keep them both calm.
Neutering is an easier surgery. Spaying is a more invasive procedure. But if you leave the female intact you're going to have to deal with her going in heat and keeping other dogs away from her. Both are routine procedures. All of my dogs have been spayed/neutered and they have been fine. If you need low-cost I believe the Humane Society in Murray has low-cost spay/neuters and there's a low-cost clinic near me in Orem too. There's also the Big Fix mobile spay/neuter clinic http://www.utahpets.org/spay.html
All of my dogs have bounced back from the surgery very fast, you just need to keep them calm for a few days so they don't rip the stitches. The vet will tell you more when you have it done.
