I'll cast another vote for the Home Depot Behr stuff. I hate HD, but it's damn good paint for the money. Don't cheap out on the paint, your longevity comes from prep work and using good paint. Endurance from Sherwin Williams is expensive but supposedly wears like iron.

I'm certified to the instructor level for OSHA HAZWOPER CFR 1910.120 and if you got caught throwing down a tarp to collect lead paint chips and then threw them in the trash as regular landfill, you could stand to looose everything you own.
Could you get away with it? yes, most of the time.
But that one time would be really bad. Like way down here next to bad on the good/bad scale.
