I did an S-Corp., which didn’t seem very complicated and avoids double taxation, non-personal liability, etc.  However, if you have a trusted tax/legal advisor telling you to use an LLC, you should follow their advice.

To be honest, corporate structure types is not my strong suit, but I understand LLCs allow for more complication ownership, such as allowing corporations to be shareholders.  Since I have no need for complicated ownership structure, I did the S-Corp. aince it seemed simpler and did everything I needed it to do.  That being said, your attorney/CPA may have different advice.  Without much of a doubt, they are more qualified to answer that question for you.
