I'm a big fan of Torx heads. We have a lot of books and I've put up a lot of spur shelving in our previous and current house. A decent cordless drill/screwdriver and a bunch of torx screws for me every time.
There are a couple of advantages. The screw will fit on the end of the bit and not fall off which frees up a hand and they hardly ever cam out.
