are phillips the X-y kind? i don't believe i've ever used the plain one.
i like the X-y one. they're much easier to keep in the screw, but i guess that was the idea behind the design. HA, i didn't marry an engineer for nothin'. he learned me stuff.

In 1936 Henry F. Phillips, also once a traveling salesman, patented the cruciform head known to us all. It was first used by General Motors in the 1936 Cadillac, and within three years most screw makers produced Phillips head screws under license from the inventor.
Gets my vote!

This is going to sound really girlie, but my reasoning for liking the Philips is that they are prettier.
