I think you meant 'latter' which would indicate the second of the two items.

Don't sweat it.

I think you will find that most here advocate use of the photoelectric
ones (pure conjecture on my part based upon the folks I know in the
alarm industry - I could be just as wrong as the day is long).

I prefer photoelectric because I believe that most (not all) residential
fires begin with a period smoldering.
