Allen Head give the least problems.


I'm not ready to use the word "Best". But I'll say least bad.

The stage 8 bolts have both allen and hex, work good. Even with that #8 is still a PIA. I have four different "special" tools for that one including hex keys on rachet (about the best, reground fitting above the key), and cut/welded wrenches.
