Tax rate in DCF? Company that operates in multiple US states

For tax rate in DCF, what is right state tax rate to use for a company incorporated in Delaware that has its headquarters (and most employees) in Utah, and will be buying an asset in Texas that will contribute to most of the future cashflows? 

I know the federal tax rate is 21%, but which state tax rate do I use in this scenario?

I am thinking it's possibly Delaware (state where company is incorporated)?

Why would a company pick to incorporate in Delaware rather than South Dakota or Wyoming?
