You can game the all pitch mode in ways you can't with 1 pitch mode (like ordering hitters to take on every other pitch) so for that reason alone I prefer 1 pitch mode. The flip side of this is that sometimes you *do* want to wait for certain counts for certain strategies - you might not even think of a hit and run, for example, until you find yourself in a 2-1 count. If you don't wan't to just try it (or steals) on 0-0 all the time, then by all means use the all pitch mode, just be aware that it can be gamed (and so avoid doing it).
