Considering the Artist field is the only one which is ever actually used to pull artist info from (by audio players, last.fm, etc) you should put the specific composer(s), arranger(s), performer(s) who worked on that track (and whom you want to attribute credit for the track to) in that field.

Since the Composer field serves no such purpose I personally don't tend to use it, but if the person in the Artist field is not the composer, you could use it I guess. Though an included .nfo file could take care of such things as well.
