The secret to screws is matching the driver to the fastener. It would be nice if there were only a few sizes and much greater standardization, but that’s not going to happen. The best you can do is buy quality screwdrivers from the better companies. I probably have in excess of 100 screwdrivers, not counting the ones with interchangeable tips.

I will say this, though. Anytime I’m going to drive a three or four inch screw, I’m going to use an impact driver and a screw that requires a torx bit. I never strip those, once you use one you’ll never go back.
