Not screen. 

He's never used screen before, therefore he has no reason not to use tmux.

$ eix -I tmux
[I] app-misc/tmux
     Available versions:  1.2 1.3 ~1.4 **9999 {debug vim-syntax}
     Installed versions:  1.3(18:51:19 10/08/10)(vim-syntax)
     Homepage:            http://tmux.sourceforge.net
     Description:         Terminal multiplexer
$ 

tmux is better that screen in a variety of ways. Many of those ways are minor, 
however all together and in total they're significant enough. You may want to 
stay with screen if you have a highly-customised .screenrc and use many other 
machines on which you're unable to install tmux, but screen should not be 
recommended over tmux without a very good reason. 

Stroller.
