In my experience, butter makes pastry taste richer, lighter and overall, just makes for a better pastry. Margarine leaves a plastic taste in my mouth and lessens the flavors of the pie filling. Also, margarines vary greatly, in taste and amount of water added. When cooked, pastry shells often come out poorly or fail completely. I believe butter is vastly superior to margarine in pastry.

What does the recipe terminology cut in mean?
Sometimes a recipe will instruct you to "cut in" the butter. The goal is to end up with pea sized lumps of butter in the dough or batter. This technique is often called for in making pastry dough, pie crust dough or biscuits. The reason for this is that the small pieces of butter melt during baking, creating small air pockets. The best pie crusts are achieved this way. Do not use your hands to mix in the butter because it will warm it, and you want the butter to stay cool. You can use a food processor and pulse until you get the right consistency. Or you can use the back of a fork to press the butter into the other ingredients. Or two butter knives.
