None. Because you should be validating any input from the user. The only instance in which I can see it being better is if you want to allow the user to link to the site.

Other than that there is no security added while using POST instead of GET.

Well I was thinking from more of a "convenience" perspective - not security. If I can submit everything via "POST" and not have to check for invalid characters in the URL (and have to replace or mask those characters somehow), then I think that would be easier, no?
