My 2 cents are ...... Smoke alarms save lives and sprinklers save property. Interconnect all alarms and if retro sprinklering use sidewall heads and therefore keep piping out of attic spaces where freezing may be an issue

This.
Have several high quality smoke and CO detectors in the house. You can alway replace "stuff" with more stuff.
Don't buy the cheapest smoke detectors. Buy the quality ones. They are far more likely to save your life.
