Thanks, ghurd. I missed that he was concerned about the charging rate of different sized batteries.
Bosman: The issues with paralleling batteries are all with voltage versus state-of-charge. So what matters is if the chemistry of the cells is a very close match, not whether the cells are of different current capacity. (Think of the cells of the battery with a higher capacity as being composed of more than one paralleled cell each of lower capacity and you should get it.)
If two batteries have VERY CLOSELY matched chemistry the same voltage will charge them at the same fraction of their capacity per unit time, and will peter out at the same state of charge. So you're fine.
What matters is that the state-of-charge vs. voltage curve is very steep. So even a small difference in battery chemistry - plate composition/alloy ratio, electrolyte dilution, temperature, aging, level of sulfation, etc. - can make a significant difference in the state of charge for a given voltage. If those mismatch, the low voltage battery will fully charge while the high voltage battery is still not fully charged, the high-voltage battery will discharge into the lower voltage battery, etc. This leads to either the low voltage battery being overcharged and damaged or the higher voltage battery being undercharged and sulfating.
So when you're setting up a parallel system fresh with new batteries yo'd like to use batteries that are not just the same brand and model but from the same manufacturing lot. That way they start out about the same, age about the same, and swing temperature in about the same way, which minimizes the chance they become unbalanced and start killing each other. (You also try to mount them so they experience the same temperatures and cooling air, because temperature also affects voltage vs. state-of-charge.)
But you CAN parallel batteries of the same type but different makes, models, sizes, etc. IF they're closely matched on the state-of-charge vs. voltage curve. Then even if you get them to match initially you'll have to check them more often and more carefully, in case they age or outgass differently, to keep them in balance and catch them early when age makes some of them no longer good partners for the others.
