When incorporating, is it better to assign your IP to the new company, or keep personal ownership and license it?

Question

For future reference: Lawyer has suggested licensing IP to the company is better. It does make the company worth less, but means that should anything happen to the company, you keep your IP.

@swizec You could always sell the IP to your company before an acquisition, I suppose.
