I suspect it's roughly the same, but you're going to see less people reporting good drops from hard maps. Reason is that if you had the ships, levels & resources to do Hard mode (and the HQ level, since need HQ80 to even unlock) you probably already have a lot that are considered 'rare'. For a newer player, getting a drop like Nagato or Hiryuu or even some of the rare destroyers like Hamakaze or Urakaze is a big thing. For me at least, it's a chance to sigh and then figure out which of my ships is going to get the best use of the stat boost from using them for remodeling, I've got just about everything and am looking for some specific ships.
