iphone needed (and still need ) jailbreak as its too restricted. Android is different. Rooting is recommended only if you are advanced user and/or requires specific task. RAM is handled by OS, and no need to worry if its on higher end. The OS will "shut down" redundant apps if running low on RAM.
On my Note 2 (2GB RAM) it keep average 1.1-1.4 from 2GB and phone has great performance. I wouldn't suggest any "task killer" apps, as every time you use it the phone have to rebuild the cache and it may seem "slowing "down.
Instead of task killer apps simply turn off the phone every 2 days.
And finally, root your phone only if you know what are you doing. Otherwise leave it as it as you can do more harm than good...
