Here’s a few pretty good youtube videos on some differences:

As a mechanic I hate everything but hex bolts. Recessed fasteners heads just dont work great in the real world.
But for wood screws torx is the only way. Philip's is a thing of the past and cant withstand the power of modern drivers.

I agree. I am glad the industry has sort of settled on the torx. There was a period where square drive was popular and I think they are almost as bad as philips and the heads just don’t look nice

A bit of history in the article below.
Eg. Torx has been around since 1967. Wow!

But wait, there is more.
Spider Drive.
I have some Headlock® fasteners, they are designed with a pan head for flushing and it uses a spider drive.
