If I have a contract coming up in the next year or 2 I might keep him until a spot is open. So I don't worry as much about if keeping that at level is hurting development as much as do I need him soon if not what I can get for him.

I know this one (I think). I believe it would be the same. A player that is sitting on the bench in the minors will have development hindered. However, a guy on the MLB bench does not. In your scenario he is playing full time in AAA. Straight from the manual below:
Playing time- Minor league players who get little playing time might not develop as quickly as others. However, major league players and players on a reserve roster develop normally even without playing time.
