We did one set of studios in Halon, to preclude having to put sprinklers in.  I'm not u for dumping water in $200K (1984 dollars) or equipment.  The fire company used spheres and bolted them to building structure.  And yes, one of the jockettes managed to set one studio off.  Other than scaring hell out of her and costing us $1800 for a recharge, no harm done.

Also, the EPA isn't very keen on Halon these days due to ozone depletion concerns (real or not), so the foam is probably the best choice we have as halon becomes harder to source.  I agree that it works best in enclosed spaces, while the foam has a smothering and cooling effect on a fire.
