LLC vs C-Corp - when does it make more sense for double taxation?

In contemplating legal entity structure, if the needs of a OPCO are sufficiently met in an S-Corp (LLC) type structure, when should a searcher consider opting for a C-Corp?

Sorry - following up late on this.My accountant is strongly urging to be taxed as an S-Corp (Self-funded search, I'm the sole equity holder and intend to remain so). In the comments above, there are strong opinions on avoiding the S-Corp structure, but can someone illustrate the actual reasons behind those opinions?
