It's difficult to say whether The Twins are more difficult than Skeletron Prime or vice versa. The perceived level of difficulty is highly dependent upon what strategy you use. For example, a strategy that works brilliantly against Skeletron Prime might not work so well against The Twins, so one might erroneously conclude after trying that strategy against both that The Twins are a harder boss. What you also have to take into consideration is that there are lots of other strategies, many of which won't share that same property of being good against Skeletron Prime and being lackluster against The Twins.

An analogy would be if you asked me how far away I was from the door, and my answer was two. Two what. Two feet? Two meters? Two inches? Two miles? An essential piece of information is missing. Strategy is to difficulty as unit of measurement is to distance.

On the other hand, I definitely think The Destroyer is easier than both, because it has multiple segments, and because the probes always drop hearts. Those are two massive, glaring weaknesses that a large number of strategies can exploit. However, there's not really any game-breaking differences like that when you compare Skeletron Prime and The Twins.
