Pretty much all depends on the relative geometry; where the fuselage happens to be is probably of secondary importance; as long as the tail can get into the wing wake, the characteristics should be comparable.
In fact, I suspect that the bigger player is going to be other things that change when you swap from low wing to high. For example, I'm not sure where the engines are going to end up with the high wing (all the high wings that come to mind have underwing engines) - in which case the engine/pylon effects on wing behaviour at the stall may be dominant.
