All I know is I have a 70 dollar polydrive #10 long reach socket that I have used once. Fucking oddball Audi cylinder head bolt that was used a couple years. It does bite good though.

Flat heads are a thing of the past and could go away. Phillips are okay but suck if the screw is buggered up at all or the tip is a bit worn. Torx works great. My camper is full of square head screws that work okay.

Phillips isn't an actual standard. it's a training tool to show people how things shouldn't work.

Straights/flatheads suck donkey dick. Pointless, and always on mile-long screws. Philips is a bit better, but still obsolete. Hex heads works great, but can't be countersunk. Torx is a big step up from philips, harder to strip, and they sit on the bit without falling off. I still prefer hex heads, but again, they can't be countersunk for flush-fit applications.

I edited the title. I agree that Torx is the best and Phillips is the worst.

The only thing Phillips head bits are good for is removing primer crimps from brass.
