If you set TeX-command-force to "" that does what I think you want, namely 
never prompt--always do the default.  So adding (setq TeX-command-force "") in 
your .emacs should do the trick.  You can still edit the command with C-u C-c 
C-c, but you won't be able to choose to run BibTeX instead of LaTeX for 
example.  You could bind another key to do that if you wish:

(define-key LaTeX-mode-map "\C-c\C-a"   ; 'a' for ask, change to anything you 
want
  (lambda (arg) (interactive "P")
    (let ((TeX-command-force nil))
      (TeX-command-master arg))))
