Robertson is better than Torx for three reasons: 1. Fewer sizes. Robertson has 6 sizes. If you're using the wrong one, you will know. People often use the wrong Torx driver and end up stripping it. 2. Slightly tapered bit. This allows one-handed usage. You put the bit on and it will stay there. No need to hold the screw with your other hand. 3. Even if painted over, Robertson still works, allowing you to remove them. I agree Torx is second best though.
