I was wondering where I can take a razor to be re-plated and how much does that cost roughly?

Razorplate I'm sure others will chime in.

About the cheapest quality replating I have seen runs around $70. Price increases with the type of replating.

Chris Evatt at razorplate does amazing work and his prices are very fair. You would be hard pressed to find another replate company that has better communication and customer service.
In 2015, I used Razor Emporium for a revamp and re-plate of a 59 Fat Boy. I found their service great, but each have their own opinion.

From all I've seen, Razorplate is the best option for razor owners in the US. For those based elsewhere in the world, an equally good service is offered by Restored Razors, now in New Zealand.
The one and only. Best replater around.

Can I get it re-plated in another plating or should I stay with the original plating?
That's really a personal choice. However, if you check out Chris' site (razor plate), you can read about the various types of replating. Rhodium is really nice, but is more brittle. That isn't necessarily bad, but some razors are better suited for it than others.

This is really up to you. In general, you do not increase the $ value of the razor with a replate. However, you may enjoy it more and they certainly look great!
The advantages of a replate: (and yes, this is the same razor, Chris at RazorPlate is THAT GOOD!)
Consider Delta Echo or North Shore Razors if you want something less traditional.
Is that RustBoy?
That is, indeed, RustBoy.
