Battery Pack Protection Question

[DDCE88]

What exactly is the difference between the protection of the Lithium Ion/Polymer battery pack and Lithium Iron Phosphate battery pack. I'm currently stuck with using Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (Long story don't ask). And I'm trying to design a protection circuit for it for a custom enclosure. What I'm ultimately wondering is what is the difference in protecting Lithium Ion and Lithium Iron Phosphate. I've tried looking up protection IC's for specifically LiFePO and they are all either really expensive (IE >$6) or require a separate Microcontroller (the second part is not a deal breaker but seems unnecessary especially when I'm trying to keep cost down). When I just do a general search for battery protection IC's I find several reasonably priced and simple IC's but they are for Lithium Ion.

Now I know that Lithium Ion runs at a higher voltage than Lithium Iron. Lithium Ion @ 3.6 nom and Lithium Iron at 3.2-3.3 nom. Also I know that the charge and discharge rates are different between the two. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience dealing with these types of protection circuits.
