Those will work fine, but you can also find water filled extinguishers at surplus sales and surplus stores. There are some that you pressurize with air, and those really old ones that you turn upside down to make the water flow. This style is what I'm referring to: https://www.amazon.com/Amerex-Gallon-Water-Class-Extinguisher/dp/B00F5CJEZU They dispense a lot more water in a faster time period than a sprayer. There are also backpack style manual fire pumps called Indian tanks (they were made by the Indian Company). Some of the surplus places are currently selling a Swiss Military version of them. Again, the stream is much better and more water is deployed faster. No affiliation with this auction, but here is the Swiss Version. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1930s-military-Swiss-Army-Fire-Pump-Water-portable-Car-Wash-Truck-Wash-Atc-Atv-/301718090321
I keep at least 100 feet of hose on each hose bib (no chance of them freezing here) and 200 feet on a couple of them. That gives me enough hose line hooked up to go all the way around the house, or to drag a hose inside if needed.
Over the years abc extinguishers have been more common for sure. A lot of people don't use their fire extinguishers so they've likely had them for years. In my kitchen in my old house my extinguisher was only a class A and it was probably 11 or 12 years old.
