Butter versus vegetable oil for heart health

Butter intake for heart health.. Is it better to have unsalted butter in small quantities or fully switch to replacements that are vegetable oil based ? (Recently found a butter replacement that seems to have high qty of soybean & potentially palm oil) Wondering which one is better or worse - for adults (with less fat needs) & for kids (with higher fat needs)

unsalted or salted butter in 1 tablespoon has 11 g of fat out of which 67% is saturated fat. Most of the vegetable oils on the other hand in the same amount have only 10% saturated fat so there is a clear difference .We always talk about doing things in moderation so if you use butter, use a teaspoon in a day and use the rest as oils.
