Whichever you choose you should both go in the same boat. If the
shoulder gives out you can still keep going. In separate boats his
would come to a stop.

Two in a boat is more power. Kayaks have less resistance so would do
better, with less ac***ulated effort over the trip.

As has been mentioned, canoes are more accomodating for the paddlers
and load. If you are on a river trip you can lie back and let the
current take you. Only one paddler has to be upright to steer. The
other can nap, sunbathe, whatever. In a canoe you can lean against the
packs.

I'd choose the canoe.
