Those high-end, Euro-style butters are cultured, so they have
a slightly sour, almost yogurt-y taste. People who like that
sort of thing refer to the flavor profile as "complex", but
it just tastes slightly spoiled to me. I don't see any need
to pay twice as much for butter that tastes a little off.

I generally buy regular Land o' Lakes (salted), but sometimes I
feel cheap and buy the store brand. Salted LoL is what I expect
butter to taste like.
