I'm glad the Cross Check's serving you well - nice to hear.
The slot heads came out OK in that they didn't break, but it's slow going removing them as the flat bit does tend to spin out, and there's a chance you then dig it into the timber. Not a concern if you're doing demolition work, but more of a worry if you're lifting bits to fix stuff underneath.
If I had the choice between the two I'd pick Torx. Torx has the added benefit that the heads can be smaller, so the fixings are less visually intrusive too.
