Butter, lard and bacon fat are obviously top tier but I do enjoy sesame seed oil* for its mild taste and peanut oil - both of which weed out weaklings.
*just don't burn sesame oil or it tastes like burnt arse.
Try beef tallow. That's what every fast food place used up till the 90s, when (((activists)) used a series of lawsuits to pressure the industry into switching to seed oils.
It's crazy how even on something as minor as how our fries are cooked, it really is every single time.

The issue with seed oils is mostly the extraction process. If you see olive oil is cold pressed, usually. Coconut oil is also processed without very high heat and hydraulic pressure.

And that's why sesame oil is the one exception. Pre-industrial people were able to figure out how to extract it because it doesn't need high temperatures.
Yeah, people have been using that stuff for millennia, so there's no need for elaborate and expensive industrial processes. Still, that might just make it "not as bad" instead of "good", so don't go nuts on it.
No. It is not mostly the extraction process, it's the toxicity of the product itself. I own several bug sprays where the 'active ingredient' is rapeseed oil. One rapeseed is like a grain of sand. Imagine your ancestors crushing millions of them to add to every single item they ate. They didn't, and neither should you. In the UK almost every fucking item for sale in a supermarket that isn't a raw food is 20% rapeseed oil or higher
seed oils are fucking poison. vegetable oil is virtually always just the piss they have left over, and it's mostly soybean oil.
use animal fats or non-seed oils like olive oil or avocado oil. yes, they're more expensive, but that's because they're not fucking poison.

and its mad cheap too
i even fry my fries in olive oil, tastes gorillion times better than canola
it was an experience but you have to remember wagyu fat is not cheap, wagyu meat is not cheap either
