Me being who I am in my current situation, I wouldn't choose. I have one of each and wouldn't have a preference as to which one I got next.
But if this IVF treatment were my one shot, and I couldn't afford another, I might choose a girl, because statistically girl fetuses are stronger than boys and more likely to survive.
But they almost never do just one embryo with IVF, it's usually 2-3. So in that situation I'd probably go with one of each.
To answer the morality question, I don't think choosing in and of itself is wrong, because people can have a variety of reasons for preferring one gender over another. But I would venture to say that if you only want a child of one gender and would not want a baby if you knew you were having the other gender, perhaps you ought to reconsider your motives in becoming a parent.
