Can someone with historical experience starting a company with both a friend and a nonfriend comment about this?
We get a lot of advice (e.g. pg) to start a company with friends, but we also get a lot of comments one way or the other, but without personal experience in both.
Can someone who have been on both sides talk about it? I certainly have not been on both sides.

Being a founder is incredibly stressful, so you need to find someone who's got your back. In my case, it's my brother because I wouldn't trust anyone else with it, besides our parents.
