I've only seen the second type in the garages I was in (admittedly not very many), I don't live in the US though, assuming you do.

They're pretty rare in homes and entirely unseen in warehouses.

Worked for a garage door supplier for a while too: almost all torsion springs. Still a few linear tension springs but really not many.
