Default Best screw head that won't strip

I can't decide which is better, the square or the star? Which is less likely to strip?

Thanks.




My experience is that the star has a more positive engagement and the
bit does not need to be as perfectly aligned with the screw to prevent
caming out. And the star bit engages more easily than the square drive
bit. The screw strips when the bit cams out.
