Note that some municipalities are requiring the sealed 10 yr battery to grant a Continued Certificate of occupancy.

If you are selling or will sell your house, this might pose a problem.

Its a photoelectric fire alarm too. These are good for kitchens and areas that might produce smoke but not fire.

What is the difference? Which is better? Is the one listed here for $25 a good deal?

Here's a good discussion on the two in comparisons. He is not an expert in fire safety, but he does deep dives on different types of technology. You can follow the sources he references to make your own opinions.

What if your in House that had smoke detectors connected/Wired in more than 20 years ago? I don't think they also took batteries, no monoxide detectors. Should they still work or need replacing? Are there cabin monoxide detectors we can add to a wired system?

You want a combo ionization photovoltaic detector. This is [walmart.com] Consumer Reports' highest rated battery combo detector. CR actually tests detectors by setting a furniture filled room on fire.

This video is dangerously bad. Not only is he mindlessly droning on about a topic he knows nothing about, he doesn't even mention professional real world testing, that all recommend combo detectors. This video makes me question his other videos.

I have the same issue.
Those old wired ones are not reliable any more, so you need to replace them.
If you are lucky and search you may find a replacement that fits. The wiring causes the other alarms to go off when one detects a fire.
What I did since I could not find wired ones to fit my plug, is I replaced each with a battery one.
The benefit was it covered the hole where the wired one is located, downside is they are not connected together.
I added some exta ones just for fun.

They have hardwired smoke & co detectors with adapters out there. The adapter will connect to the original wire installed.

See attached for example:

"Kidde is the most prominent competitor to First Alert, but its overall track record is, in a word, disturbing. In 2018, the company recalled more than 450,000 dual-sensor smoke alarms; in 2016, it recalled 3.6 million smoke/CO alarms, and in 2014, it recalled 1.2 million smoke/CO alarms. In addition, since 2005, Kidde has enacted three separate fire extinguisher recalls of 470,000 units (2005), 4.6 million units (2015), and 40 million units (2017). Worst of all, in early 2021, a federal judge ordered Kidde to pay a $12 million civil penalty "in connection with allegations that the company failed to timely inform the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) about problems with fire extinguishers manufactured by the company." For these reasons, we can't, in good conscience, recommend any Kidde products to our readers." - The Wirecutter

Just say no to Kidde anything.
