About any screw you might want, and square drive is the ONLY option as

I have never seen a square drive drywall screw. You actually want
drywall screws to cam out before they go in too deep.
That is also why a #2 drywall bit is a lot "pointier" that a regular
#2. It is a torque limiting design.

I do agree on just about any other type of screw. Phillips is not as
good as square for torque but torx is better than both of them,.

After visiting here you will have:

These don't show the head, but are listed as Drywall Screws, Square
Drive Coarse
