I think a good decking screw with a square head is the best and are the least likely to strip.

You still need tips for your screw gun/impact drill.

Torx are literally made to be least likely to strip (or overtorque).

Whens the last time you've put a piece of furniture together and had to use flathead screws?

I used a phillips less than 15 minutes ago to clean out my PC, so I guess I have to go with that.

Phillips heads are actually designed to cam out if something goes wrong. That was a design feature intended for assembly line production so a tool wouldn't bind up and hold up production.

Torx and square drive are in fact the superior design for construction purposes.

If I had a choice, robertson, but for some reason almost everything is phillips or slot.

I always wonder why there's no triangle, or maybe deep slotted, screwdriver bit. the two most common are the two easiest to slip, but it doesn't have to be that way.

thinking about it, I guess it probably has to do with the mass of the head or something. something like robertson probably requires a relatively deep head, which works if you can drive it into wood, but not metal. something like slot requires the least massive head, I guess.

Those have to be those "oh look, our screws are totally tamper proof that you need to buy a $60 screwdriver to get into!" sort of screws.

On the flip side, I've had multiple Phillips head screws strip and become completely irremovable by standard means solely because the wrong size bit was being used, or even the right size bit used at the wrong angle. Whereas I've never stripped a single flathead screw in my entire life.

There is the snake eyes screw too. The bit is prone to snap though especially when used by a power tool.
