This may have covered it all.

I'm a great fan of pitchers' parks.
One, they help maximize the number of innings thrown by your best pitchers. An ace who might throw 220 innings in a hitters' park like Wrigley or Coors will throw 250 in Burlington or Wichita.
Two, they help keep your low-durability hitters in the lineup. While the park will hurt both offenses equally on balls in play, the decreased number of plate appearances will keep your best players in the lineup more often.
Third, the value of errors and walks is magnified in pitchers' parks because hits are less common. It's easier to build your team around high-walk, good-defense position players and pitchers with great control.
Hitters' parks are the opposite: batting eye and defense are less important for hitters, while for pitchers L/R and quality of pitches are more important.
