I was wondering why their favored enemies are limited to outsiders (chaotic), and humanoid subtypes? It seems like outsiders (Evil) would also make sense. Any reason for not including Evil as an option?
Besides the focus on the crusade against the demonic Worldwound, I think that choice was made to play up the moral ambiguity of the Low Templar PrC. They get more vs. Good/Evil benefits as they gain more Low Templar levels and make their choice between the two, IIRC.
It's an oversimplification, but think of a Low Templar as being very grey upon arriving in Mendev. Fighting against the Worldwound will either forge them into better people or just bring out the worst in them. Applying this away from the Mendevian Crusades would probably be trickier in terms of favored enemy.

How do humanoids fit into the focus of being demon slayers? Are the humanoid favored enemies meant to explain those of a more thuggish demeanor of the Low Templars who prey on the locals around the World Wound?
That's how I took it. There are any number of humanoids crazy enough to stay in the Worldwound, not to mention the unfortunately frequent persecution of the local people of Mendev.

The low templars are mostly up there to fight demons and their humanoid cultists. By saying "chaotic" instead of "evil" we hedge out devil-fighting low templars while at the same time insert some more good-evil ambiguity into the class. You could certainly have a low templar that fights against chaotic good outsiders, for example.
This doesn't have anything to do with the question asked above, but it does have to do with this PrC so i thought i'd post it here instead of starting a new thread.
The Path of Darkness/Light ability says that the templar may choose to ignore the lawful or good (if path of light) or chaotic or evil (if path of darkness) aspect of their alignment for determining alignment-based affects. So does this mean if I chose the path of light ability i would be unaffected by a holy weapon? and why would this be beneficial for a good low templar?
Thanks!

You don't HAVE to choose to ignore those effects. It comes in handy mostly when you're hit with attacks like chaos hammer or other spells or effects that do more damage to you if you're of a specific alignment.
