We (NZ) have a mix, the real cheapies are ionisation, the good ones are dual
(optical + ionisation).  The best-performing ones are dual, you want photo for
smouldering fires and ionisation for fast flaming ones.

Getting this at least somewhat on-topic, eventually we'll have IoT smoke
detectors like this:

which should (hopefully) be configurable enough that you can deal with false
positives and other annoyances of current detectors.

Next thing will be that you'll get pwned via your IoT smoke detector...
