The last time I looked tasksel installed *both* when desktop is
selected. To get just one, you had to select individually. Both are
selectable by hand in apt-get. I don't see a bias. Personnally, I use
the KDE desktop with Gnome Terminal. Gnome Terminal user settings
don't seem to be restored under Gnome desktop. OTOH, sessions don't
seem to be saveable by hand under KDE, only whatever is last running
when you logout. For me, neither deserves to be the "one and only".
