Those trade cases always seem weighted away from what I mostly use. When are we going to be able to select the mix we want in the box online?
Oh - and I'm shifting more to spax.
I've been using Spax recently (a local shed closed down and was knocking them out for bugger-all money) and I love them.
How do Turbo Golds compare?

Our local B&Q must be doing the same thing - they had a bin full of Spax for 50p a box last weekend. The 'middle' sizes were mostly gone, but I had plenty of those anyway...
The Spax ones are better, IME, and the Torx versions better than the Pozidriv.
TurboGold seem to tear a bit more, Spax cuts a smoother thread - but TG is a lot cheaper.
I think spax are revising their packaging and naming scheme - there may be more old stock bargains
I think Screwfix Goldscrews are closer to Spax than their Turbogold are. The turbos have notches in the threads. Personally I prefer the Gold and snaffled a trade case of them for about the same price when they were on clearance a couple of years ago.
