I have/use/have used both. My impression of the wheel is that it's for light duty. I don't have the large ones with the big frame and tires and all to help hold it on the ground but on heavy stuff they either hop over the hay or the blades bend back. Then, if it is dry, possibly stemmy, but windy, the wind usually glues the hay to the wheels and just makes a big mess rather than rake it into a windrow.
Parallel bars will roll anything and that's what they do. The more you rake the more of a roll you have and rolls don't dry. One pass on a windrow is ok, but after that if it's wet or long and stemmy, it rolls.
Tedding and getting the hay spread out is the best way to dry. But, if the soil under it is wet/damp, you won't get it dry. You have to rake the hay out of the way to allow the surface to dry, then spread out the hay to dry, then rake and bale.
