If you want a substitute for healthy reasons, I suggest using coconut oil. It's good for you and tastes good. Otherwise, organic's always better!
Butter is shortening. It's also a natural product without - in most countries - artificial additives enhancing its flavour or colour, unlike margarine, which cannot be made without various additives.
