Olive oil is best, and I would choose bacon fat as the next best choice. I wouldn't go with butter because it will impart a dairy flavor you probably don't want with tomato-based sauces, so if you don't have any rendered bacon fat, then choose goose fat.
My family's oldest spaghetti sauce recipe always used the fat rendered from a piece of salt pork.
Go with the goose fat.

If you have it, render some streaky bacon or pancetta, if not, go with the butter.
