Torx are harder to fuck up, tool has better engagement.
The flexible engagement of Phillips and JIS is a design feature to prevent over torquing.
Torx is fine but in the hands of someone who thinks it's ok to put 100nm in to a small to medium fixing it's a disaster. That includes a badly calibrated robot ;)
What's wrong with Phillips head and what do you recommend instead? I still get frustrated with the single slotted screws in most of my dad's stuff.
