The speed with the two masses will fall to earth (neglecting the effect of air resistance) does not depend upon their masses, as shown by a very famous similar experiment done on the Moon. This is because the acceleration due to gravity does not change with mass.
Now if we consider the effect of air resistance then of course its effect on the lighter body would be greater as it would tend to slow it down. This the final velocity of the heavier body would be more.

Maximum height is decided by the velocity and the gravity so mass doesnt change height in ideal case where no air resistance or drag is present and height formula is u^2/2g too.
