Arguments are either single values (such as 'category' and 'cat_pages > 0') or arrays, if more than one value is passed for an argument position (such as array('cat_pages > 0', $myNextCond)). If you pass in strings, you must manually use Database::addQuotes on your values as you construct the string, as the wrapper will not do this for you. The array construction for $conds is somewhat limited; it can only do equality relationships (i.e. WHERE key = 'value').
