I'm a commercial painting contractor - good prices / we use lots of SW.
Send me a PM before you buy and I'll set you up.
SW's High Build primer is the best on the market when you are spraying. Do not backroll. Lay it on as heavy as possible without runs. It will hang almost 15mils wet. Try 2 coats if you are not comfortable spraying. SuperPaint is fine. 400 on ceilings is perfect unless they carry a line call Sher Scrub - try that one. Duration Home Satin is nice for high use rooms without a lot of windows - use flat for high light areas.
I have used every major brand. We honestly don't care which brand is spec'd. They all have good - better - best. All are competitively priced with each other. If I take quotes on a large job, penny's / gal is usually the diff.
On a tight job where an extra coat here and there may cost 10's of thousands of $$, I may use 3-4 different brands to get results.
I may like one companies primer, anothers topcoat, anothers trim paint and anothers accent colors. But thats when I am trying to obtain very specific results.
