Same. I use torx for everything. Also gotta love the square Robertson ones, they're just not common where I live. I hate Philips, although for anyone not aware, there is a difference between posi drive an Philips and going to the effort of making sure you have the correct one massively reduces torquing out and damage to screw head.

IMO, phillips is for electronics and some small applications. Something you're really not putting much pressure on and probably driving by hand and not a power tool.
