Which type of smoke detector do you have? If you have the ionizing, does it bother you that it emits radiation? I prefer no radiation smoke detector, but the ionizing one is better at detecting smoke, and the photoelectric one better at detecting fire. Which should I get?

I think the radiation is so minimal that it doesn't have any significance.
They say one is better at big smoky fires and one is better at smoldering fires like maybe a burning electric wire that could explode and go big fast. So maybe each one is ideal for a different part of the house depending what's likelier, or for the bigger worriers get both types just for good measure.

Do you have one of each type? Which one do you put close to the bedrooms?

Me? No. The one I have I'm pretty sure is the radiation kind. I've thought about getting the other one as well but didn't get around to it. Hanging up one was already good housekeeping as far as I go... And my apartment is small enough that one unit pretty much covers it, outside the kitchen is the same spot as outside the bedrooms
