Fees are only part of the decision. A state with a lower filing fee can still tax the LLC's income or publish its members' names, and for a non-resident the state you form in matters less than whether you do business there. For the full picture, see the state LLC fee comparison, the states with no income tax for LLCs, and the best state for a non-resident LLC.
