Is there a weight difference between the heavy barrel and the light barrel? Looking at the Howa Ranchhand 20"

Yes. Howa lists the "Light Weight" Barrel Package as 8.75lbs and the "Heavy Barrel" version package as 9lbs.

yes a 1/4 of a pound which would only make a difference if you at doing a lot of hiking while hunting. I like the "heavy barrel" version

Looking at the Howa Ranchland with a 20" barrel. Both say they weigh 8.75 lbs, is this right? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each?

I would go with the "Heavy barrel" since the weight difference in negligible and will probably be more accurate at longer distances due to slower heat buildup and barrel harmonics.
