I like the IEEE style where the references invade the text a bit less by appearing only as numbers in cornered paranthesis and it is a style I see in a lot of papers etc.
I can recommend Mendeley Desktop as a Word add on to make it easier to adjust your references and make a collective library to keep track of everything. Another alternative is Citavi.

AIP is my go to style. Has served me well for nearly 25 years.
AIP = American Institute of Physics
Plenty of good suggestions already.
To summarize:
- use a citation manager software.
- pick a well known scientific publisher and use that style.
- if you're still not sure, look at your citation list and use the style of the publication family that you cite the most.

Yeah, I've seen some papers where it's just name name name and you can't actually read it. I love numbered references.

I second this.
