There is a question in the other thread which is raising alot of confusion..I would like to ask it here-

Will an aircraft descend faster in headwind/tailwind?
As far as RATE OF DESCENT is concerned, winds have no effect.

(If that is what you're trying to mean by asking which aircraft will "descend faster").
