Torx are harder to fuck up, tool has better engagement.

...but also easier to strip whatever you’re driving the fixing into as a result.

The common pozi-drive head is designed to cam-out when over-torqued and is a better fit for most wood fastening use cases. Doesn’t look as cool as a Torx tho...

Pozi-drive is my general screwhead of choice - and seems to be the most widely available in shops. I've never really considered Torx for general use. Phillips looks a bit cleaner to my mind but less easy to use. Hadn't realised the 'can't over-torque' thing was a design feature.
