As for why the diagonal fuseki are prone to fighting, consider that after move 4 there are two large sector lines, one "black" the other "white" running between the diagonally opposite corners. At this point all four stones that have been played are inside the opponent's sector lines!

Sector lines are a tool for detecting the threat of enclosure, aren't they?
Sector lines that long should essentially be disregarded in favor of a good continuation along the sides, I think.
