I use smart balance, occasionally real butter, and skim, .5% or 1% milk.

If you can find Canola Harvest margarine, try it. It tastes better, too.
I don't eat a lot of butter. Most of my cooking is with oils and canola sprays. My daugher likes margarine better than butter, so I keep Canola Harvest around. Butter for when I want butter flavor on something.
You're right that SB is "ok." It's a better choice than regular margarine.
Have you ever tracked your foods to see how much sat fat you're getting? I eat a lot of meat and eggs, and my saturated fat percentage is still less than 1/3 of my fats. There's not as much sat fat in meats as most people think. Although, if you use a lot of whole milk, half and half, cream, and butter, it's easy to bump that up.
