RNA-seq vs. Microarray
Cost can certainly be one factor. Arrays are a proven technology and can still be cheaper option if one is happy with the design of the array. Illumina has some information/references at this link that compare microarray and RNAseq.
There are quite a few answers to this question. They measure expression in different ways (fluorescence vs counting), thus require different analysis methods. A simple google search on one vs the other brings up plenty of articles to pursue. Or you can use pubmed to find a comparison such as Comparison of RNA-Seq and Microarray...(2019), follow the references in that paper, or follow the "Similar Articles" section on pubmed.
