I think Peterka just has a larger body of work to judge from. He's proven to be a pretty consistent scorer for a few seasons. Doan doesn't even have a full NHL season yet. I don't think it's that risky of a contract or anything like that and the trend these days is to lock these guys in if the early returns are good (it's similar to the Coronato deal). At their ages, both players probably haven't peaked yet, so maybe one will pull away within the next couple of years.
