I was going to suggest Robertson as well, but decided not to since I have never had the privilege to use them myself. All that I know is that after using Phillips for my entire life, I was thoroughly jealous when I first read a description of Robertson screws. Ford liked them to, he considered using them on his production lines to improve efficiency but couldn't due to their limited availability in the US.
