Ansul or Amerex if you want good units that can be refilled and 
serviced. 20 pound for home, shed. 10 pound for cars. Get the proper 
auto mount, a flying extinguisher can be deadly.

If you want cheap single use - Kidde.

For all of them that are dry chem. or powder types, pull them every 6 
months and roll them around to prevent the powder from caking in the 
bottom.

Couple of water cans are nice, just not in areas that freeze!
They also allow practice because you can refill them yourself using 
water and compressed air. (And you can add some foam concentrate to 
allow them to be used for different types of fires as well).
