starting a business

I think I need to officially start a business. I found out of a need for some software, its something I've been meaning to write anyway, and I've got the code mostly done for it - its at "change structure to make it consistient and then make it pretty" stage. Mostly I think I'd be licensing/selling it to educational institutions for the most part, so I need to be able to do the tax stuff, etc. properly.

I don't mind paying my taxes, but I'm wondering what the best way to do this would be to minimize double taxation. LLC? S-Corp? I've really not done research, but I figure the brain trust would get me going in the right direction. I live in Florida, if that matters, and I do plan on seeing a lawyer. No dedicated office at home, product would be software and support for said software. Not in city limits, and I don't think there are any zoning issues.

Input please!
