Situation: using a screw gun to drive in the self-driving screws (the star shaped ones) horizontally, and sometimes at a difficult angle above my head. Hard to get good leverage like that. The driver starts spinning the screw but it doesn’t catch right away and then the screw jumps out and falls on the ground.

Has this happened to you? Is there a trick for that?

Here in the states, GRK is a little more expensive than Spax (very slightly tbf). Their tips are really good, but imo nothing compares to the serrated tips that Spax has. It makes things so simple.

The shorter Spax screws also accommodate a Robertson tip really well also.

That said, GRK, if that is the best you can get, is going to treat you well. I might not like them as much, but they are a quality product.
