I'm thinking in terms of incorporation, though - right now I'm paid 
direct by my intermediary, but for tax reasons, there might be a benefit 
to having a corporate entity of some sort be paid and then taking a 
salary out of that, along with introducing benefits, such as pre-tax 
(income tax, of course) health insurance payments.

But adding overhead of payroll taxes and the like might make it more 
involved.  We've just sent in our first estimated income tax, though, 
which we're supposed to do quarterly if the income's over a certain 
amount (it hasn't been to this point).

LLC is really popular here in Utah (and probably elsewhere as well).
