Default Extractor Fan Replacement - 100mm to 150mm

Hello all, and i do apologise in advance if this has been asked before, but have no reliable people to turn to here for this.

Currently have an Airflow Loovent Eco 100mm extractor fan in the kitchen, that stopped working a few days ago. Looking around, and in consideration of the square hole the existing fan will leave when replaced, I am thinking of replacing it with the Airflow QuietAir QT150B.

1) is it safe / ok to replace with a bigger fan, or do i have to stick with a 100mm fan as a replacement?

2) Read in the forums about centrifugal etc. I know the Loovent is centrifugal, but the QuietAir is "axial high efficiency impeller" (from the description). Do i stick with another cntrifugal model, or can i switch to this axial one?

It is a residential kitchen measuring 3m x 2.2m x 2.2m. Also, considering the fan models mentioned above, if you have suggestions and why I'm more than happy to hear them.

Thanks!
