Crystals, resonators, and oscillators are all used to create the timing requires for microcontrollers. each type will have it's own accuracy. Typically the accuracy is in the following order

'''RC Oscillators '''
*Moderate Performance
*+/- 5%
*'''Cost:''' $0, usually internal to the microcontroller.

'''Resonators'''
*Better Performance
*+/-0.5%
*'''Cost:''' $0.10
*Packages: 3 pin through hole

'''Crystals'''
*Best Performance
*+/-0.00002% or 20ppm
*'''Cost:''' $0.25
*Packages: HC49
*Con: Requires additional load capacitors to get the crystal moving.
