If you are based in California you end up paying both Delaware taxes and California taxes, you don't save anything by incorporating in Delaware, it's more expensive. Since you don't plan to take outside investment there would be no advantage to a Delaware incorporation. If you later change your mind you can always re-incorporate in Delaware (either due to outside investors' request or for other reasons).
