New Company - Hold shares in own name or a Trust ?

Hi,
Looking to incorporate a new company and I need to say whether we want to hold the shares in our own name or via a Trust or some portion to each.

We already have a family trust setup with a Corporate Trustee, so no extra costs in going this way. The trust doesn't have any assets and does not trade anymore, but does have tax losses. It has not made a Family Trust election and further I don't think the trust deed has been updated for many years, so not sure if this is something that would be a problem.

My family (my husband & myself) will hold 80% of the shares and 2 other individuals will hold 20%.

So would you hold all the shares in the trust or hold some in the trust and some in the individual names. And in approximately what proportion ?
The trust idea is mainly so we can get some benefit from the income splitting once the kids reach 18.

Thanks

Thanks. I wasn't looking for personal Tax advice, just a general idea, so that when I go to the accountant I have some idea of what they are talking about.
Thanks.
