My five year old son apparently has bad decay of his two top front teeth, front and center.

I was offered option of either:
resin composite crown (cheaper by over $100, more likely to stain over time)
porcelain (best quality and also less likely to stain)

The reason it's a question is because funds are tight and I expect his teeth to fall out in the next 2 years. (My other kids lost their front top teeth by age 6.5).

What would you do?
Mostly curious if people have chosen the resin composite and how it turned out?
Anything else I shod be thinking about?

Thanks!

Apparently not at first but over time the cheaper one might stain easier.

I don't have any first-hand experience with this, so I'm wondering if anyone has advice
