I represent many IT companies in NJ. Very few are DE entities. The questionable benefits DE law is simply just not worth the costs.
Unless you are on an H-1, you should probably be a NJ S corp or LLC. Most of my IT clients are NJ LLCs.

Re: Advantages of S corporation over LLC
Since NJ permits one-man Limited Liability Company (LLC), I suggest using it rather than an "S" corporation. While both provide limited liability and income (profits and losses) pass through to the owner, there is no state income tax at the corporate level in a LLC. Unless you are conducting business outside NJ, and sales taxes are an issue, there should be no reason to have the business created in DE. I can assist you in the formation, call me at (973)-377-3313.

You should definitely be a NJ LLC rather than a DE LLC. To check the best form of legal entity, try my free Legal Entity Determinator at http://www.taxesq.com/choice.html

Lots of questions. Circumstance dependent.
Take a look at Matt Strebe's book:

Great book, and not just b/c I wrote the legal
part. It's very helpful, very funny, he's very
successful.
