Liquidity and spread
LTC trades with deep liquidity on the large exchanges, so slippage is small at retail size. Your all in cost is the fee plus the spread, and the spread mostly matters on smaller venues, so compare both instead of the headline fee alone.
Do not forget the withdrawal fee
Litecoin on chain withdrawals are fast and cheap, but the fixed LTC withdrawal fee still varies by exchange. If you move LTC to a wallet often, that recurring cost can outweigh a small trading fee difference. See the hidden costs of crypto trading.
