Definately butter. You just don't get the flavour with margarine. I usually get it at Sam's Club, because it's so much cheaper. Butter freezes really well, so it's not a problem having 4 pounds in the house.
If you're using a recipe that calls for a lot of clarified butter, see if you can find an Indian grocery that sells jars of ghee. It's not that expensive, and It's pretty much just clarified butter. Saves a bunch of time.
If you're concerned about your health, get some more exercise. Margarine isn't that much if at all better for you, and it tastes like crap. Enjoy life. [grin].
