Interesting discussion on restricted stock vs. options and IRS 409a.
Quoted: I think restricted stock is a no-brainer for founders and early employees when the value of the stock is almost nothing. I also think its a no-brainer for public companies with marketable stock. The place where I am not yet convinced about restricted stock is privately held companies where the stock has real value but it is not yet liquid.

Psychology experiment that shows that people irrationally keep more options open than they need. Sounds familiar!
