Interesting. Don't use it much personally but have seen Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall advocate it and he always seems fairly health conscious.
Salad cream or mayonnaise?

This has gone on far too long.
It's simply a matter of taste.
People with taste get cook to make mayonnaise.
People with no taste buy salad cream from shops. They probably drink prosecco too.

Surely you mean ‘vinaigrette or olive oil’?

Pretty well any mild-flavoured oil will do for mayonnaise, but extra virgin olive oil tends to be too strong. Whatever you use, make it with a stick blender. Just Google "stick blender mayonnaise" and make sure you use a container that just fits the blender head.

I have always fancied a go at making my own but have never gotten around to it since I found the one made with olive oil. It tastes just like any other mayo and that brand also does an avocado oil version as well as flavours like chipotle, lemon etc.

Anything is fine for you in moderation. Including moderation. Tallow used to be used as a lubricant and for lighting as well, and yet no one says no to beef dripping roasties or chips...
Much of the "it's good for you" or the "it's not good for you" is marketing guff. The ultra processed food that the rapeseed oil is *IN* is likely way more unhealthy than the oil itself. Look at how butter was vilified about 30-odd years ago, and all of a sudden it's now the bees knees.
Most cooking fats are used here chez Casa Reynard - rape seed oil for sweating off / sauteeing vegetables or for shallow frying things like bhajis and schnitzel, butter for omelettes, steaks and roux-based sauces, lard for general frying, beef dripping for roasties and chips, sesame oil for finishing off asian dishes, and extra virgin olive oil for things like salad dressings, hummus and drizzling.
I don't make mayonnaise as i just don't eat enough of it, ergo I have bought. But when I have made it, rapeseed oil is fine.
FTFY.
