I haven't found such great information on sunflower oil that looks better to me than the information on canola, so it's not worth the switch for me personally.
I use mostly olive oil and but also keep canola around.

Both. Cold pressed extra virgin for salads. Extra light for high heat and baking. I know the health differences but there are no good options for these things so I read the data and make a decision that looks right for our family.

Oh! 
Either one, it doesn't make a difference, but we prefer extra light because it doesn't have a scent.

I didn't read the whole thread. But margarine and canola are an absolute no no in my book. I cannot recommend anyone to use either. I would rather use nothing than either of those.
We use butter, palm oil, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil... if any of those work for you.

I saw in the news recently that coconut oil is not healthy at all and should be avoided. There was a study that showed coconut oil was worse for cholesterol levels than butter.
http://amp.usatoday.com/story/402719001/
The Dietary Fats and Cardiovascular Disease
advisory reviewed existing data on saturated fat, showing coconut oil increased LDL ("bad") cholesterol in seven out of seven controlled trials. Researchers didn't see a difference between coconut oil and other oils high in saturated fat, like butter, beef fat and palm oil. In fact, 82% of the fat in coconut oil is saturated, according to the data — far beyond butter (63%), beef fat (50%) and pork lard (39%).
