Pozidrive selfcentres, and doesn't slip out. And I find it's less likely

Yes torx would be even better, but pozidrive is a start.


Builders in these parts seem to be adopting screws with a square hole
(don't know what they're called). They allow very high torque to be
applied.

Is the shaft of the screw equally strong? I've snapped screws by applying too much torque.
