Either soy or Canola, but in such small amounts, it is harmless.
Grapeseed is one of the worst oils.  It's worse than soybean.  For some 
reason, it was trendy for a while.  The high oleic sunflower oil at TJ's 
is both cheaper, and *far* more healthful than peanut, or even olive, 
though olive is still good, and it tastes good.

Another great choice, if money were no object, is macadamia.  It's a 
little over 3X the price of HOSO.  It's a great source of palmitoleic acid.

Tallow is good.  A bit more healthful than lard because it's lower in 
linoleic acid.
