What are the pros and cons of each? And which one is better?



I'm not saying there is absolutely zero justification for ever doing an S-corporation, but for 90% of small business owners (perhaps more than 90%) - LLC should be the way to go as the organizational structure.

An S-corp would only be superior, in my mind, if you wanted to open it up to investment to corporate entities and/or issues more than 1 class of stock. In virtually all other situations, the LLC would cover you up until the point you needed to reorganize as a full corporation.

I think you have it backwards. An S-corp can't have corporate shareholders, and they are limited to one class of stock. An LLC, on the other hand, can have any type of entity as a member, and it can allocate income, losses, deductions and credits in any manner so long as the allocations have substantial economic effect.
