Funny thing, kind of a loaded question. Depends on your typical usage and your budget and what you have room to store.Me? I dedicated a drawer to screwdrivers exclusively. Not a big one, but big enough (so far!) to fit my needs. Everyone should have a decent regular set with slotted and Philips in the most common sizes, that's bare minimum. Someday you run into a P3 or P4 and you end up buying that. Then you have need for stubbies, so you get a couple of those. Then you might run into some Pozidriv 1, 2 or 3 fasteners, so maybe you snap up a set at some point. Then you hit those occasions when you need a really long driver, so you get a couple of them. Then maybe a messed up Philips gets you thinking you might have use for those fancy lasertip Wera with the little teeth to grab the mucked up screw head, so maybe you snag a set.Sorta snowballs out of control. Screwdriver population grows to fill available space in the drawer and burn available money in your pocket.

Ratchet It Up and Add Multi-Bits
You will face jobs that require the use of a 'hand-powered' screwdriver, but also demand speed and torque. How do you get as much speed and torque from your screwdriver without resorting to battery power?
The simple answer is to use a ratchet screwdriver that uses multi-bits.
A ratchet screwdriver with a good, solid mechanism will allow you to turn screws with greater speed and higher torque. This will still give you hand-control over the application. Look out for mechanisms in the ratchet screwdriver. These allow you plenty of control over the torque as you tighten or loosen.

Pay attention to the manufacturing of bar and tip of your screwdriver. Look for chrome vanadium steel as this is both strong and corrosion-resistant. Sand blasted tips provide a secure grip in the slot or recess of the screw head.
Bits are important to consider also.
Rather than fiddling around with several different screwdrivers according to the sort of head fitted on them, a multi-bit screwdriver is supplied with interchangeable adaptors that magnetically hold a variety of bits, from standard 1/4' hex drive Phillips to 1/4' hex drive torx.
Keeping track of your multi-bits while on site may be tricky, so look for a ratchet screwdriver that has some sort of internal, or adequate, safe external, storage.
Here's a great example of a multibit ratchet screwdriver to consider:
