GIC and composite both feelings are good even for the initial cavities .
it totally depends on you what feeling you want .GIC is a little Chalky in colour n cost less and composite is completely tooth coloured so aesthetically what do you want depends on you

Hi..it is called GIC (glass ionomer cement). It is good compared to composite because GIC contains fluoride.
