Fire extinguisher choice is difficult, not enough or wrong type of extinguisher and you are just delaying the inevitable. I am using a 2.5Lb Purple K in front of the seat. If it catches on fire I will deal with the mess. While Halon might be great for an electrical fire, I will wonder if its enough for a burst fuel line in the engine compartment. An electrical fire would require removing the source of electricity to prevent re-ignition. A Halon with a battery cutoff might be sufficient though....
