in the long run it is cheaper to save a tooth than to replace a tooth.
with that in thought the best choice is a root canal. Once you are numb it will make no difference which procedure you are having, the discomfort will be illuminated. But with post-procedure you are better off with a root canal as well, they heal faster than gums after extraction.Health Question & Answer

It depends on where the tooth is at that needs to have a root canal. If it is one of your last molars then I would just opt for an extraction because most people can function missing their last molars.
But most likely this tooth should just have a root canal done and the doctor will also tell you it needs to have a crown (strong porcelain covering over the tooth) and it will be fine for many years.
Do keep in mind that root canals can fail, but that is not very likely to happen for a long time from now.Health Question & Answer

Choose the root canal. After extraction a costly denture will be needed. Root canal has lesser stress (not evel) and may need a crown after. If you trust your dentist you don't have to be scared. Talk about the procedure so you won't be surprised (specially the cost). What makes it scary is that you don't know what to expect.Health Question & Answer
A root canal isn't a big deal and if your dentist knows what he's doing, there will be no pain. An extraction should always be a last choice.
