Carbon Dioxide extinguishers displace the air from the immediate area, and so are not suitable for confined spaces (though they're safe in a normal-sized room). Dry powder is non-toxic, but is discharged as a cloud of irritating dust, which can cause vision problems in a confined space. Generally, I would use the nearest extinguisher suitable for the fire, and vacate the area immediately after discahrge to wait for the fire service to check the area.
