NMOS devices are much faster, so you can definitely get a wider bandwidth. lower power consumption, lower input inpedance, more gain or whichever you choose. However, I believe they suffer from poorer flicker noise performance. So if the signal you are sensing has a narrow bandwidth, then PMOS "may" be better.

Dear Larry,

MB PMOS is loading your output node with it's gate cap, try to minimize it's W*L, in order to maintain the same DC point + Loop gain, use smaller Rb (trade-off is power, of course).

BTW, why not  use Ib instead of Rb?
