Information of inc's and llc's can probably be found on your state website.

To become a corporation (inc) your talkin more paperwork, additional filing fees, and more taxes. When you become a corporation, then you are opening yourself up to sell stock later on, and thats something you dont really need.

As for an llc, it is meant to protect the owner of the business against problems that may occur through the business that are the fault of a contractor or employee (if i remember correctly), and protects the owner from legal issues.

(man i sound like a teacher or something probably haha)
