Similar yield fission and fusion bombs might have different fallout characteristics. I think pure fission bombs would have some degree more deadly fallout due to increases of Strontium 90 and Iodine 131. Both of those elements would be a concern even in very small concentrations.

I will be honest this is just a hunch, but it seems reasonable.
