Just to add my 50p's worth:
I have two different types of wheel bolts on my car - evidently a previous owner had trouble with the locking bolts and replaced them.
Each wheel, then, has four conventional bolts with the tapered seat that fits into the tapered hole in the wheel, plus a different one that has a collar, like a washer, but thicker and tapered. It's this collar that fits into the tapered seat, and this means you don't have to deal with the friction between wheel and bolt.
This, I have found, makes removing them much, much, much easier. Much easier. Much, much easier. I mean, really, much easier.
If you can find the ones with the collar, these'd be the ones to go for.
Much easier.
They also seem less prone to rusting.
