I don't know about other systems, but supposedly Halon systems don't
remove oxygen from the room, they just lower the concentration enough
to suppress the fire-- AFAIK, you can still breathe in the room.
And, supposedly, Halon systems are non-toxic.
Of course, that was before Halon became unhealthy to the environment.
I suspect that insurance risk management would be more annoyed if you
had a dry chemical system, or (heaven forfend!) a water-based system
instead! Although I have heard that pushing Halon thru the pipes for
the first time results in all sorts of contaminants spraying all over
the computer room.

Greetings:
Forget SarBox auditors, what happens if your insurance company's risk
management team finds you don't have fire suppression? Even worse, what
happens if they find you have gas-based fire suppression and have humans
working in the room regularly? (No, do NOT assume said humans will always
be conscious or mobile enough to leave the room if the gas system is
triggered!)
