Wiha or Snap On are my preferred screwdrivers. I recently picked up a set of Icon screwdrivers to try, so far they have a similar feel to the Wiha and Snap on, but we will see how they hold up.

Leave it to a Canadian to use the proper name for a square drive.

Which is why we went to #2 Square drive screws almost four decades back. Drove the purchasing guy nuts (Larry Pinkston) because they had to all be custom made back then. And we have a large variety of #2 square drive models, sizes and lengths.
Phillips screwdrivers are intentionally designed to "cam out" when the fastener's tight. This allowed for automated production with fewer failed parts/fasteners. Now that driver clutch mechanisms are reliable/cheap, the other head designs have gained a lot of traction. Unless I'm assembling the space shuttle, I use an impact driver for Phillips. I use #2 Phillips Reduced for sheetrock and utility construction screws. Torx head ones from SPAX and GRK for higher load applications. Robertson is alright - some of the railing kits I buy come with them, but the only ones I purchase bulk are trimhead finish screws.

Thats because a Canadian invented "Robertson" screws/screwdrivers, I find that they don't strip out as easy as the Philips do.Leave it to a Canadian to use the proper name for a square drive.
I used a Irwin 9-1 driver for years..
THIS is the best tool I have ever used for removing any type of screw. Period.
