Personally, Torx all day. But I've worked with Junior Mechanics who didn't RTFM and used a smaller size Torx wrench than the fastener was, screwing up both tool and fastener. Obviously user error, but that same kinda mistake is pretty damn hard to make with a hex set, aside from mixing English and Metric. And even then, let's not forget about German autos and their liberal use of Torx and triple square bits, so depending on your proclivities it is possible to use the wrong type of driver on accident. But that's definitely reaching on my part.
