advantages and disadvantages: "The pros and cons" of an argument, proposal or idea are its positive and negative aspects.

When making a decision on a future policy, many companies discuss the "pros and cons" before moving forward.
ups and downs: The "ups and downs (of life)" are the good things and the bad things that people experience in life. The expression is not used to describe the "advantages and disadvantages" of something, although the term does indicate the "positive and negative" elements of a situation. For example, we might say: My wife and I have always been loyal to each other despite the "ups and downs" of life.
ins and outs: The "ins and outs (of the new computer program)" are the details of a complex situation, system, procedure or machine. The expression is not used to describe the topic of a discussion or debate, though it could be used to describe the inner workings or details of a debate. For example: The "ins and outs" of the political process in France always confuse me.
highs and lows: "Highs and lows" usually refer to the numbers of the stock market, or the temperatures in the weather report. It can also mean the good things and bad things that people experience in life. It is not used to describe something specific like the topic of a discussion or debate.
professionals and amateurs : The expression "the pros and cons" doesn't actually refer to being "professional", rather it refers to the positive and negative aspects of a situation.
