Also here Torx is gaining popularity, I don’t buy anything else except for special needs.
Edit: pozidrive -> pozidriv (learned something new today)
Another similar situation is bicycle derailleurs. Many older Shimano derailleurs have JIS adjustment screws. They are just similar enough to Phillips that it seems like it's working, but it's very easy to damage the screw head. I have heard that they moved to Torx recently.
I prefer (inner) hex for bolts and torx for screws. Torx is ok for bolts too (mostly m4/m5). Standard hex is fine for wood anchors as well. A rather important downside of torx: you can put a smaller torx driver - say T15 in T20 (and esp. T8 and in T10) - that ruins both the bit and the screw head. Hex doesn't suffer from that issue.
I had to think for a while to remember the last time I saw a Phillips screw here in the UK. Then I remembered - it was about a year ago when I had to take something apart, and I cussed the thing out for having a screw that almost matches the screwdrivers that everyone has, and who even has Phillips screwdrivers these days anyway?
