This questions seems to come up about every two months, be sure to look back a couple months for some more advice.
The "S" corporation has both write down & liability advantages. It will cost you extra time (or money) to book keep this over the LLC. The LLC has the same write down & liability advantages but your taxes / business book keeping is much simpler.
From your brief description (your attorney & accountant will know better) my suggestion would be to go with an "S" Corporation - issue shares to each immediate family member. Have the "S" corp be a holding company of the other businesses. Then Issue a DBA (doing business as) for the businesses under that "S" corp. This will make it easier to book-keep in the long run and if down the road you wish to sell any business entity - you will have the financial history separated for easy valuation.
But do listen closer to the attorney & accountant rather than to me - each locale has unique taxes, fees, licenses, etc. that can change year to year and the pros should know.
I hope this helps, God Bless, Ed R.
