For a decision like this you should really consult an attorney. Each state has different rules and requirements for any of the choices you might select. Although an attorney's time is expensive, it is worth up to $150 to spend an hour with one who can advise you on this matter. When you go in for the consultation, have your business facts and projections in order so you don't have to spend more than one hour with the attorney, and don't let him or his office pursuade you to let them prepare your paperwork for whichever course of action you decide to pursue. In almost all cases, you can prepare the paperwork yourself or at an online legal service for much less than an attorney would charge..
If you can not afford an attorney for one hour of advice, perhaps you should hold off on the limited partnership or incorporation until your business is actually generating a bit of income.
