Legal Question in Business Law in Colorado

LLC V. S-Corp

A group (3-4) of us are looking into starting a real-estate investing company, mostly residential but potentially commercial property. We were wondering which is better a LLC or a S-Corp in terms of liability, flexibility, accounting, and ease. Any insight one way or the other?
