cost difference can vary a lot due to different materials and even between various doctors and clinics
Rct treated tooth can be prone to fracture incase not capped but that also depends on which tooth it is and how much natural tooth structure was left at the time of the root canal

It is always advisable to get capping done after having RCT. As it will prolong the life of tooth as well as treatment.
Get tooth colored caps if tooth is visible. Otherwise you can opt for metal cap also.
Ceramic caps cost upward of 2500/-
