Butter is nothing but fat and fat-soluble vitamins and other fat-soluble compounds.  No minerals, no carbs, no protein.

Personally I think butter is better.  It causes fewer allergic reactions, FAR fewer, and it also gets around the excessive calcium:magnesium ratio that dairy has.

That's pretty much it:

cheese http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/7690/2 (http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/7690/2)
butter http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/133/2 (http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/133/2)

If you need generous amounts of fat with your meal, raw organic butter will work of the two.

Raw cheese absorbs differently than butter. Pasteurized cheese does not absorb.
