Default Counter Bore

So... any words of advice on counterbores?

I see basically two types. Fixed pilot and interchangeable pilot.

The obvious advantage to interchangeable pilot is the ability to pilot
different size screw bores with different size head bores. They might also
be easier to sharpen with the pilot removed. Are there any disadvantages?

Are there any overwhelming advantages to the fixed pilot counterbores?
