I like the normal driver type (like screwdrivers) for general electronics assembly, and the standard keys for stuff that takes more torque. Never liked T-handles. The folding sets are ok for something like a road box or a travel tool bag, but can get annoying if they're your only set.

Depends how hard you have to turn them. I have screwdriver-handled torx drivers in the sizes I use most (20, 25, 30), but I only have to get things hand tight.

I also have a full set of 1/4" ratchet bits for hex (standard and metric) and torx through 30 or 40, but I only use four of the 21 bits with any regularity.

i use both allens and torx that are mounted to a square drive socket (1/4" 3/8" and 1/2")

seems to be the best/fastest way too me, also gives you the most versatility- use a nut driver if you need a screw driver, a ratchet if you need leverage, even an impact gun or drill, and extensions if you need the reach

I use 1/4 bits that fit into an Apex bit holding tool like a screwdriver. I also have small torx
screwdrivers.

I find I either use 1/4 bits in a ratcheting screwdriver or bit ratchet or the bit sockets and a regular ratchet the most. The folding sets are ok in a pinch but I find them cumbersome at times. I have a full set of the regular screwdriver type ones but rarely use them for some reason or another.
