Butter or canola/olive oil margarines are decent choices as long as the don't have hydrogenated oils in them.
Smart Balance spread is a marketing ploy and should be avoided. The number one ingredient is soybean oil, which is rich in Omega-6s. You get far more than you need of that, already. The fact that it also contains some Omega-3s is meaninless, as the 3:6 ratio is more important than the actual amounts. Lowering 6 intake is usually better for you than just adding more 3s.

true, except that it does have a lot less saturated fats than real butter does. If you're eating a diet with a good amount of eggs and meat, then i think smart balance is ok.
I use smart balance, occasionally real butter, and skim, .5% or 1% milk.
