I find it interesting that so many people here see the choice as being between Phillips and Torx -- all the time I was growing up (in the UK), Torx bits were incredibly difficult to get hold of while Pozidriv became more and more common, to the point where I don't think I've any loose non-Pozidriv screws in the house, and I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone selling Torx screws.
