Alexios or Kassandra ?

Hello, this is my first time playing, and I'm stuck between choosing Alexios or Kassandra. As a male player, I usually pick the male character in games with romantic choices, but in this game, I think one of the DLCs automatically makes the choice for us. That's why I’m leaning towards Alexios, but everyone says his voice acting is really bad. I'd appreciate it if you could help me out pls :D
