I`m a hangglider pilot and instructor but some of my friends fly paragliders. I tried a short flight with a paraglider one time but found it to slow and to easy... 
Any way, it doesn`t matter what you fly as long as you are up there! 
I think I'd actually rather be a "hangie" but transportation and storage of a wing are pretty big inhibitors when you live in an apartment with no garage as I do. The speed thing is what I have a feeling will bother me. When I found out the forward speed rarely goes above 20mph... I got kinda turned off since I love speed, but I think one I'm up in the air, the ground speed will be a bit less evident. Especially if I get into some thermal flying later on. Looks like there's a lot of ribbing between the PG pilots and the HG pilots eh? Hahah.
