Im trying to figure it out what are the differences setting up a POS in low vs high sec except the chapters I need to pay to the faction.

Any ideas?

A massive one. A war declaration takes 24 hours to take effect, while it takes an hour tops to unanchor a POS. So, the POS can easily be made immune to PvP in highsec.

The above message presents my opinions on the topic at hand. If there is a conflict between my views and reality, consider reality to be correct until proven otherwise.

Hisec pos is cheaper since you dont need large one filled with defensive modules.
You save time since markets are closer, hauling risk lower.
Lowsec you can save bit of isk since manufcosts are maybe couple % cheaper but shouldnt make that big difference unless you build really expensive major scale stuff, in which case you dont want to be solo/small corp in lowsec anyway.
Also the charters are negligible cost the stuff is pretty much free.

Pros for low:
- Extra refining yield
- Thukker array makes components quite a bit cheaper
- Can build carriers/dreads in POS

Cons for low:
- Anyone can bash at any time
- Anyone can bash with dreads at any time
