Range is much more important than error rating for defense. I agree a defensive approach suits a contact-friendly (homer-unfriendly) park setup.
The sabremetric approach does work also - it's less popular but really is a viable option. The park should be set up the opposite way for that (max HR, min AVG). Base your offense around dingers & walks and focus on MOV & control for pitchers.
Basically, you're on the right track OP - any coherent strategy is better than no strategy.
