You should go for trust formation and make a registration under section 12A of income tax act to attain the benefit of section 11 and 12.
If you would form section 25 co. then trust will be assessed as company and benefit of sec.11 and 12 would not be attained.

Section 25 company is advisable as it is more convenient to form , more transparent and section 25 companies are eligible for 12AA and 80G benefits.
