I hate phillips. It seems like their only purpose for existing is to strip out so that you can never remove them.
Personally, any time I have a project, I always opt for torx (star). The screwdriver bits for them are not tapered so they don’t push themselves back out of the screw-head (unlike phillips), so they tend to stay in place and grip much better. It’s a lot harder to screw up a torx screw or bit than a phillips one.
I. Love. Torx! They just work! Don’t mind the angle, don’t mind the force! They’re just perfect! Never going back. (At least for everything related to woodworking)
Same. I use torx for everything. Also gotta love the square Robertson ones, they’re just not common where I live. I hate Philips, although for anyone not aware, there is a difference between posi drive an Philips and going to the effort of making sure you have the correct one massively reduces torquing out and damage to screw head.
