FWIW, I've sold two LLCs (one to private buyers and one two a VC backed dotcom). Worked fine. Both had sub ~$500 in legal setup fees. As you say, it's easy to move from LLC to C. Start it easy and quick (but do your trademark homework) and see if you can build a successful product. Statistically speaking, you probably can't, in which case you haven't wasted dollars on lawyers. If you start to feel like your product is taking off (or has potential to), get off your butt and invest in some real legal help to get your ducks in a row. Of course, if YC will help you do it right out of the gates-- that's dandy.
