I suspect that those conductors who perform a lot of contemporary works are more likely to prefer concert pitch scores.
Again, it's all what you are used to. Many conductors object to concert pitch scores simply because they are not yet used to them. Unsurprisingly, conductors with more experience with concert pitch scores tend to like them better. (At least in my experience.)

I just took a very informal poll on orchestralist and it seems to be running about evenly split, concert pitch scores and transposed scores.
As a corollary I also asked if their original instrument (or what they consider to be their major instrument) were transposing or concert pitch, and there seems to be no direct relationship in preference of transposing or non-transposing scores.
I didn't ask if originally they were band or orchestral students, though. That might make a difference.
