Can the type of liquid used have an impact on either flavor or tenderness? I was wondering if substituting apple juice or beer for the water would have any effects. Or should I just stick to H2O?
You can't put moisture back in the meat, and you can't transfer flavor to it from the water pan either.
I assume that some liquids may transfer some taste to the surface of the meat even though they will not penetrate.

The purpose of a liquid in a bullet smoker is not for moisture, flavor, or tenderness. It is for temp control.
Wrap your pan in foil and control temp. Spritz or season for your flavor and let the smoke do the rest.
I use 2 parts water to 1 part white vinegar when I first start my ribs.
