The benefit of hex might be the ability to use ball head tools?
For example, waterbottle bolts and brake lever reach adjust screws seem to never allow a normal tool acces.
For everything else though, it would seem to me that Torx is a better ‘bite’?
And one huge, non bike related benefit of Torx:
there is only one F\#\#@\#&in’ size system! No trying to guess if that tiny six sided hole is metric or imperial, or whether your wrench or the bolt are worn a bit.
