Examining the comments for the properties in the WP_User class reveals that allcaps is:
All capabilities the user has, including individual and role based.
And caps is:
The individual capabilities the user has been given.
But you probably shouldn’t be using the properties directly. WP_User has a has_cap method that should be used instead, as it checks the appropriate properties and runs the result through the relevant filters.
