I suggested xtable because that is what I often use.

But thinking a bit more, I decided to look at tables::tabular() and
at Hmisc::latex(), which I think is what you used at first.

And it turns out that latex() has args for caption, label, where, and
loads of other things. See its help page. So, it looks like you have the
control you need and the ability to use

  latex( tabular(...), caption = <...>, label = <...>, ...)

to good effect.

HTH,
