Low weight, high reps builds muscle endurance.
High weight, low reps builds power.

By doing both you develop slow/fast twitch muscle fibers for a "well rounded" muscle. Different styles of lifting also make your physique different which is partly why bodybuilders and powerlifters have such different bodies.
