I always assumed Tony would work with the Government because of Ultron. I mean, Tony made them behind everyone's back with Bruce and almost destroyed the world he was trying to protect due to that, maybe if there was regulation with superhero that could've been avoided. So, Tony feeling guilty is spearheading the Registration Act, since he saw first hand how no accountability amongst the Avengers could lead to consequences.

While Cap I assumed because of the incidents in TWS is more skeptical of the Government. He knows it can be corrupt, he saw exactly how it came down when Hydra was in charge. Imagine if the Superhero Registration Act was operating while Hydra had moles in S.H.I.E.L.D., they could pretty much out all their identities, or worse.

So, regardless of the list that's what I feel there motivations may be. Tony had seen the consequences of free reign amongst heroes, while Captain America with too much intervention.

It would be cool if they did this, referencing the other movies and all. I mean, I'm surprised by how The Avengers could almost destroy the world by creating Ultron or The Hulk destroy a Wakandan city (which could inspire Black Panther to be Pro-Registration) without any citizen uproar the Government would need to answer. The whole idea something like that would have a ripple effect into Politics and Civil War just adds a lot of depth to the ever expanding world of the MCU.
