This really depends on wing loading and how they fly the canopy than weight. If they're both loaded at 2 sf of canopy per lb of suspended weight, then they'll have a comparable rate of descent.

How long of a bungee cord do I need for a 20 foot drop?

Why is weight of a bungee jumper important in calculations for the length of the bungee rope?
A little, but not so that it matters. It'd depend on whether you'll want to ignore wind resistance or not. If they were jumping in a vacuum then weight wouldn't matter at all, but if you'd have one thin guy in fluffy clothes and a heavy guy in a skin tight slick suit, then the heavy guy would fall faster. For any combination of reasonable circumstances the difference would be too small to matter. and blah blah blah
