I made it a practice to use dual tech detectors almost
everywhere, even when there were no pets around.  There are a few
straight PIR's that I like though a dual tech is less likely to
false than a PIR (all other things being equal).

I may have already mentioned it but I like the Visonic K-980D for
most short to mid-range apps.  If the detector needs to cover a
50-foot hallway, the Sentrol RCR-50 would be worth a look.  If
for some reason you want a PIR only the Paradox DG75 does a
decent job at a reasonable cost.

Here's a URL (my website) for the GE / Sentrol RCR50

The prices on these are retail.  You're in the trade so expect to
pay between 20 and 30% less at your distributor.
