The building code determines what type of standpipes. What is the applicable building code?
If you can answer that, perhaps we could be more help.

Find out what the governing code is in the area you are working (for example the IBC). Also, certain municipalities (AHJ) can have their own codes that will override it for a more specific application.

Then depends on the occupancy group
Size of building sometimes
And if the building has a fire sprinkler system
Also sometimes the fire code will dictate standpipe uncertain hazards

The big questions are:
1) Wet or dry
2) Manual or automatic
We can't work that out for you. Good luck.
