Default Halon and Co2? different techniques needed?

Time for a new fire extinguisher for wet starts.

Either Halon/Halatron or co2

Is the c02 much colder than Halon and more likely to cause turbine damage when shot in the intakes?

Does the co2 need to be used differently( not into the intakes to prevent thermal shock) and just shot up the tailpipe?

Halons much more costly- but is it better for the occasional wet start?
