At one point I knew a lot about this. I vaguely remember, from old law school classes, that C Corp. makes it easy to create shares and invite more investors in. Further, it shields the shareholders from direct liability from many miss-deeds of the corporation, so long as the corporate meetings were systematically held, and decision making done per the shares held (usu. for electing board members).
Downside, is that taxes are trickier, as theoretically, the corporation is taxed once on profits, and the shareholder is taxed again on making gains/dividends. FYI, this is not legal advise, and I'm quite likely wrong on a point or two.
