I think most classes share a large amount of PEMs, and, therefore, there shouldn't be a tremendous difference.
Perhaps you want to do some acutal testing. Memory usage (used by user-defined objects) can be tested with SYS(1016). Another issue, often more critical, is how much time it takes to Init() and to Destroy() an object.

Does it consume ten PERCENT more memory and take ten PERCENT longer to instantiate than the lightest class, or does it take ten TIMES more memory and take ten TIMES longer to instantiate?
