Personally, I came to like the square drives because I found them to be
far superior to a philips drive, but since I went to star drives, I
don't think I'll ever go back unless the screw I need does not come in
star. Just watch your drive tips. They last a long time but at some
point they will start to round and you'll want to replace them. Like I
say though - they will last a long time.

I like the square drive because the driver will hold the screw for easier
work in difficult to reach locations. I haven't tried the star so maybe
it does the same.
