You should at least in theory receive the same power, distance being determined by angle of trajectory. Staggered wheels have a little more contact time and are easier to set an angle with (since you're shooting upwards it's a good thing), though with paired wheels you could again theoretically curve / spin the ball into a goal. Never tried it though.
Test a bunch of different flywheel combinations out and see what works best. Maybe more than one wheel per axle could get you better grip.
