Forever my mom and then in my own house used Pam canola spray. Or canola oil. Trying to get away from seed oils.
Butter obviously is an option. I recently bought some wafyu beef tallow to make tallow butter for steaks and started using a little bit to grease pans too. Anybody else use tallow? While obviously it’s straight fat, I have to think it’s better than using seed oil.

EVOO, butter, bacon fat for the most part

I bought 2 spritzers off Amazon. You can pour out of them or use it as a spray bottle. I have Avacado OIl in one and EVOO in the other.

Beef tallow, ghee or algae oil. all high smoke points with fantastic health benefits.

There's a resurgence/reappearance of lard underway. Embrace it.
All spray ons will leave a residue, avoid them with real lard. It kept my ancestors thin as rails for centuries too.

Huge fan of EVOO. Yes, smoke point is low, you have to tame it down a bit.

The above and also tallow since I buy good size pieces of beef and render the fat down that I trim off the slabs. Right now I have 2 quart jars of tallow in my fridge and just used some 2 nights ago to do a couple N.Y. Strip steaks in my cast iron griddle on the stove.

Unfortunately that lard is long gone. Lard from stores is from pigs fed almost exclusively a diet high in seed oils. Those SO make their way to the fat where they are extracted for lard. If you are buying lard from specialty farmers with small batch pigs raised in ideal conditions you can escape this.

I use avocado oil pan spray, evoo, butter and tallow. No seed oils in the house.

Avocado oil

Even if you don't regularly buy large fatty cuts of beef you should be able to find suet at some butchers. Usually $2ish per lb. Yield is higher and product is more pure as well.
If you re-render a couple times you'll remove most of the water and impurities and it will solidify into more like butter and you can cut into bricks wrap in parchment store on shelf.

Are you talking about cooking or seasoning? Seasoning a pan with a seed oil is inconsequential to your health. The point of seasoning a pan is to literally bond the oil to the metal via heat...the seed oil, or whatever you're using for seasoning, doesn't release while you're cooking (unless you're using WAY too much when seasoning).

Beef tallow, avocado oil, butter, and sometimes ghee.
100% avocado oil is the easiest and laziest to work with. I also find it's non-stick properties are a little more forgiving.
Be careful, there's a big issue where a label will say "100% avocado oil" and when you look at the ingredients its a blend with seed oils. Aldi's brand is one of these cases. We've found that the Chosen brand is pure avocado oil.
ETA:
Animal / saturated fats aren't bad for you.
Tallow is nice because you don't need a lot of it, so a tub lasts a while.

Iverstine's has excellent leaf lard and T-Moise Farms does, too.

I use avocado oil. Doesn't add any taste, can use at higher heat than olive oil. I put it in an oil mister and use that to spray it on the pan.

Avocado Oil, specifically the Chosen brand.
I do use tallow from brisket trimming and butter when cooking at times depending on what I’m cooking.
Just haven’t found an economical replacement for vegetable oil when deep frying.
