I hate those square headed screws. If I have to pull one, for whatever reason, I replace it with a normal Phillips. If the color is off, a touch of Tester's Paint used for paining plastic model boats and cars works very well. Plus the paint comes a bazillion colors, and the bottles are tiny.

my first choice is a torx drive head, followed by robertson, then pozidrive then phillips. Many phillips heads are actually pozidrive. And I avoid any slotted heads at all costs.
But in most cases, it's more personal preference than anything else.
Phillips was initially designed to cam out reasonably easily, so pozidrive came out to help reduce cam out.
The Pozidriv screw is an advanced version of the Phillips screw but the key difference is that: Phillips drivers have an intentional angle on the flanks and rounded corners so they will cam out of the slot before a power tool will twist off the screw head. The Pozidriv screws and drivers have straight sided flanks
