Does it matter if you use salted butter instead of unsalted butter in banana bread?

No, not really. Unsalted butter is usually recommended to keep the sweet, light flavor, but a lot of good bakers I know use salted butter. Most recipes call for unsalted, but it's up to you. Try it a few times; there's no reason to only try to make one loaf. My favorite recipe uses regular butter. Unsalted butter just makes it a little healthier.

Salted or unsalted butter best for baking?

Regular butter will make your food taste slightly saltier, but can usually be used in place of unsalted butter. In many baked items the proportion of ingredients has a direct effect on the finished product. Not just the flavor. The interaction of salt and sugar with leavening agents such as yeast and with the gluten in the flour can affect the rise of the product and the finished texture. Baking is a science. A small change in proportion can have a big effect.

Is unsalted butter healthy then normal butter?

Not really if you are not on a salt restricted diet: the amount of salt in butter isn't too high unless you are eating a lot of it. The reason for unsalted butter is that some recipes that use a lot of butter might taste a little too salty if you use the salted kind (shortbread, for example). Also, if the butter is not salted you can better control how much salt goes in the final recipe. HOwever, unsalted butter does not last nearly as long because salt is a preservative, so you should use it quickly and freeze it if you are keeping it more than a few days.
