When couples can't agree on guardianship in their estate planning

My partner and I keep putting off writing our will because we can't agree on guardianship for our kids — I want my sister and he wants his brother, and we both have good reasons but we're stuck. Every time we try to talk about it we end up in the same circular argument about whose family is more stable, and meanwhile we have nothing in place if something happens to us.
