If you're based in California and do most of your business in CA, it might make sense incorporate in California instead of Delaware. CA has in the last few years made its laws more business friendly, and if you incorporate in CA you'll avoid having to pay certain taxes and fees twice (once for each state). There are a few other benefits DE has, but probably none of them will be useful at your early-mid stage company. Definitely worth looking in to.
