Slotted or phillips head?
Any other type is just a shameless self promoting screw head.

I prefer phillips screws, but honestly my favorite are secure torx screws.

Phillips all the way across the sky. So I can just pick a random screwdriver and unscrew/screw it in.
Otherwise I need to make sure it's a flathead screwdriver if it's a flathead screw...

EDIT: since people mentioned other than flathead and phillips, I prefer: http://www.mveducation.com/assets/products/12552_l.jpg

Those are nice. What do you think about these?

@302,192 (Ks !KansasxqvM)
The reason I love my secure torx.

Lol, those were used to lock the traffic light controls back in Slovenia, and the fuse boxes of lamp posts.
I don't really like them for some reason...

Lol. We used it on the new gate we made on the side of my parent's house. I know they use secure torx over here for street signs. Also, Xbox uses them. Oh, and I see secure torx being used in bathroom stalls a lot. I should just bring some in and disassemble some stalls one day to fuck with people.

I never really got the "secure" part of "secure torx" since every better toolbox has a set of them.

Shameless self promoting screw heads

@302,202 (TheSheep !kJ.A4PF7.k)
Lol, I dunno. I just love how it never strips on me or falls out while trying to screw in or unscrew.

@previous (squeegee !hbZVTk6JYc)
Perhaps.

most flathead screwdrivers work for both types of screws, so they are preferred.

But this is about screws, not screwdrivers.

@previous (I)
it's not that difficult to see then that phillips screws would be preferred because in many situations they can be used with either phillips or flathead screwdrivers
