What’s the algorithm for choosing a butter from the like 20 options at that grocery store?

Andy, you bring your unsalted butter to room temp and fold in your own salt?
-
For eating raw, you mean? If you buy high-butterfat butter, it's soft even at fridge temp. For spreading on toast or something, I just spread it cold and then top with some crunchy finishing salt.

Omg I am opposite, salted butter only and sometimes I add more salt.

Don't get me wrong: I'm a heavy salt fiend! :) But I'm always tasting and salting as I cook; I don't want to throw off my seasoning by e.g. mounting a sauce with a few T of butter at the very end. When baking, I'm adding salt by weight, don't want to account for butter's salt.

Thoughts on ghee?
-
Has a very specific flavor because of browned milk solids. Sometimes good, often not what I want. I'm mostly cooking New American food. In that context, clarified butter is useful, and ghee is a convenient pre-clarified butter. But I want clarified *brown* butter pretty rarely.
