Robertson screws are pretty good but the ones with torx heads are really awesome. I
re-pitched a roof once with adder trusses held on by torx fasteners that screwed into the
original trusses. Long as they were, they never stripped. Unlike some Robertson screws
I've used in building decks.

Yeah, my head favorites, in order of favor a Torx, Robertson,
Pozidrive (square and phillips), and Phillips.

For repair work a year or ten later, Robertson/square beats them all.
A nail or screw pushed into the recess removes enough dirt and grit to
allow the drive to remove the screw without stripping. I keep a camera
lens puffer (rubber bulb with small brass tube for blowing) in the
truck for things like that. It saves a whole lot of time and
frustration when you don't have to drill out any hardened screw heads.
