I second mikebw on the Dewalt brand - they last a long time.
I also second his thought that it's all about the contact between the screw and the bit - the driver shoulld be square to the screw head, and light to medium pressure exerted, so the bit doesn't slip out, or get "loose" before seating.
Lastly, don't drive the screws at top speed - if your driver has different settings (i.e., drive, drill) set it to drive. If not, temper the speed using the variable speed of the trigger (most drivers have this feature).
