With the start…stop syntax you can easily apply different options to
the individual structure elements or add additional information. The
\chapter syntax is less verbose but less flexible. But it has at
least one caveat that I know: The insidesection key of \setuphead
does not work.

Keys that I know about:
\startchapter[
label=...,
title=...,
marking=...,
list=...,
bookmark=...,
reference=... ]
\stopchapter
You can also add an additional pair of brackets with custom
settings:
\startchapter
[title={First chapter}]
[foo=bar]
\stopchapter
In the setups this information is accessible as:
\structureuservariable{foo}
> It's not documented in even the most recent command reference.
