I have been using the Milwaukee t25s driving primarily 2.5"-3.5" grks into wood and they work great, like you said the fit is snug which helps a lot starting a longer screw.

They all cleanly sheered off and not a single fastener head stripped. You can check out some of the bits in this Instagram post. You can see all the bit tips as well as the bits that have a twist in them.

Just to put it in perspective....the difference in foot pounds from the highest rated Torx bit to the lowest Torx bit is about three and a half foot pounds.... so they're all generally as strong as one another... wear might be a different thing... one thing that does remain constant though is using the to right tool and accessory the right way.... that's how you get the greatest longevity out of your bits and tools....
