I believe salted is the default.  In the US, anyhow, you can always
check the ingredient list -- it'll say whether salt has been added.

I find whether I want sweet or  salted butter depends on what I'm using
it for.  For spread, definately sweet.  For sugar cookies and such,
definately sweet.  On the other hand, for pie crusts and oatmeal raisin
cookies, I use salted, because, for crusts, that means I don't have to
add salt to the dry ingrediants, and for oatmeal cookies I get that
wonderful sweet salty combination.
