I need email notifications for multiple content types, and for the content type's CCK fields to be included in the email. I also need the emails to be sent straight away, not on the next cron run.

The 2 main modules for email notifications are Notifications and Subscriptions. Subscriptions allows different messaging templates for different content types, but it cant send emails straight away. As I need emails to be sent very quickly (even 15 mins is too long), I would need to run my cron every 5 minuets or so. Even though this site is very low traffic, as im on shared hosting im guessing this isnt a good idea?

The Notifications module can send emails immediately. However you dont have different email templates for different content types. If I include the token for a CCK field not available in that content type, then the token text is sent in the email.

Any ideas on a solution? Thanks

Not a solution, just an idea for you to research. Have you tried the Rules module?
