Type of paper matter?

So, I'm the first author on a multi-institutional database paper on the safety and efficacy of a certain class of experimental treatments. I've heard a lot about how lab papers are much better regarded than clinical papers. From my experience in the lab, I can see why. However, considering that this is a relatively high profile paper and it should get into a pretty good journal (should be submitting in about a week's time), how well will this stack up? Thank you! Edit: I will also be... Type of paper matter?
