Given the tolerance variations of the hex head (the chinese made hex 
heads typically end up somewhere between a metric and US size, so 
neither hex driver will fit snugly), I like the pozidrive if I'm 
going to be taking stuff apart frequently.  Of course, you can always 
switch to Torx and make the US people happy (available in every 
hardware/tool/auto store in the country).  Don't know how available 
thye are in the UK.

In my case, I'd rather spend $35 once for a set of 4 drivers that 
will last a lifetime.  I have enough European gear where I run into 
pozidriv screws fairly frequently.
