Than me or than I

Hi,

John is taller than me.

John is taller than I.

I know both are correct, but which one is more formal?

What is the type of each sentence?

Is the first simple and the second compound?

Thanks.

'John is taller than I'
Isn't the above an elliptical compound sentence? Meaning: 'John is taller than I am tall.'
