If I'm looking at two same-sided SPs, one inverted and the other not, and I have a heavily platooned (3 or more positions) line-up, I try to decide which pitcher I can hit more effectively. For example, if someone is starting Wells and Johnson against me, I'll probably opt to try to go after Wells since doing anything against Johnson is less likely. It also depends on the park. If it's against Wells in Minute Maid, for example, I'll keep my regular LHP platoon in because the RH bats will be more effective there (and Wells gives up a lot of jacks to RHB).
