I don't have a good answer to the direct question (in terms of Eff v. ZR. v. Rng v. Ratings - though I do 100% disregard Pct), but in terms of the sub-question of playing time I do take that into account and think it matters, for me. I know players can't always control their playing time, but I also think that the award is to reward the player who most helps their team with their glove and so I think a guy who plays CF every day with great defense helped his team more than a guy who played CF half the time with insane defense.

I think of it similar to IP for pitchers. For Reliever of the Year I will vote for a guy with a 2.75 ERA, 130 K, 115 IP season every time over the guy who had a 2.00 ERA with 80 Ks over 60 IP.
