Are You a Ginger or Mary Ann Kinda Guy?

Whichever smells less awful after months or years on an island without modern hygiene products.
The professor makes soap, shampoo and deodorant out of palm leaves, crab oil and sand.
I love Lovie!
But seriously, if we accept the premise that they are permanently marooned on a remote island, then the first thing to be jettisoned by the single inhabitants (Mr. and Mrs. Howell being excluded) is the formal, civilized system of dating, marriage and pair bonding.
I would suppose that Ginger and Mary Ann would be the ones to pick who they wanted to be with at any given time and they would each want to have the choice of Gilligan or the Professor. And, perhaps even each other. Probably, the Skipper is out of luck, at least until they get around to fermenting lots and lots of beer out of bananas and coconuts. Given enough years marooned with such an extremely limited dating pool, I'd guess nothing is totally ruled out. Be prepared to be shocked while watching that episode.
But this might not be that answer to the question you asked. If the question is just the simple one of which do you personally prefer, given the choice, then I'd choose Ginger. She is much more likely to know what she wants and how to get it and would be very clear in telling you. I imagine Mary Ann would be a lot more work to keep happy. This might seem contrary to popular expectations, but this is my opinion based on experience, and I'm sticking to it.

Incidentally, Tina Louise and Dawn Wells are the only two of the seven still alive today.
I married a MaryAnn. My bat turd crazy ex girlfriend was a Ginger. I went from high maintenance to living the high life. From just plain crazy to crazy about me. From fake like a kitchen counter fruit bowl to the real deal Holyfield.
Give me my wife in boots and jeans any day over some fake chic in a sparkly dress.

Ginger and Mary Ann today. Mmmmm....which one aged better?
EDIT: I just looked at the photo closer. Is that a mug shot of Mary Ann?

No fair. This isn't about reality.
