Do I pay myself as an employee or a contractor for LLC with S Corp election

I provide services through a platform that allows me to do data entry and customer service for other companies. I was required to be an LLC with S corp election in order to provide services. 

 

I'm the only member of my LLC. Do I need to pay myself as a W2 employee or as a 1099 contractor? I do plan to have contractors under my LLC in the future. I'm in the state of Arizona if that helps.
