If you're going to have employees and those employees are going to have formal equity as part of their compensation, the simplest structure to use seems to be the S-Corporation.

If you're not granting options to employees or you're just 3-4 founders, you can get the same effect as vesting with buy-sell agreements.

You can do vesting in LLCs (at least in most places, right?). You need a lawyer in any case.
