PVA is a better primer for new drywall. Do you need it, not really. Any good latex primer will do the job just as well. I guess it really just depends on what you expect your primer to do. Cheap primers will seal the drywall, but not much more. I find bonding primers and pva primers will provide a much more solid platform for topcoats. They may cost more and be a little overkill, but they will provide you with layer of primer that will allow your topcoat to dry in even. You can also dry a high build primer, which is the product I prefer to use. They give you a great platform to work from, and since they are usually about 3 mils thicker that standard primer, they fill in a lost of voids in your wall. If you go with this kind of primer, it is best to spray it. You really can't achieve the mil build up you need from a brush and roller application. If you use the roller application, and are worried about really sealing the wall and filling voids, I would recommend two coats of primer.

Had wallpaper on the bathroom walls I removed the wall paper now I'm wanting to paint the wall what kind of primer should I use?
You should carefully inspect the wall board for any damage. If the paper "skin" of the wall board has peeled off with the wall paper, you will have to patch that before you can paint. Otherwise, I would recommend a good quality latex primer.
Paint will not srick in spots in your bathroom you have scraped etcNo joy Using latex?
Hi, If you are having problems with paint not sticking, first ensure that the area is dry. This can be done with an electric paint stripper. Second, check to make sure that the drywall isn't moldy. Also, if after the drywall is dry and not moldy, ensure that you prime and seal the wall. With latex on oil based paint, you need to use an oil based primer/sealer. Latex will stick to oil, but it will not hold very well. After it has been primed with an oil based primer/sealer, it will hold. With oil paint going on latex, you do not need a primer or sealer. If after painting, you are able to see either what looks like a wet spot that has bled through, or the color from the last paint job bleeds through, you will definitely need to use something with a stronger barrier between the two. I have found spray on shellac to provide a barrier that works. After spraying shellac, I would prime and seal to be sure. As for latex, I don't like it. Sure, it's easier to clean up when done painting, but you wash the walls once and the color is different. Secondly, latex is basically just a kind of rubbery compound, so if your paint peels anywhere, if you grasp a small piece of it and pull, you can pull off a much larger piece. Not good. Third, in the bathroom and kitchen, the tendency is to need to wash more often than say in a bedroom. Oil paint is much more resistant to damage from scrubbing. Finally, if you are painting in a bathroom or kitchen, even the laundry room, you want to be sure that you get the mold and mildew resistant paint mixtures.

Can you use water base primer over oil base paint before top coating with latex paint?
You can always paint latex ( water based )over an oil based paint as the latex just dries on the surface. However don't paint an oil based over a latex paint. Oil based paints need to absorb into the wood or other surfaces or it will just dry and flake off. For more information on the differences and when or not to use a latex or oil paint please see the following article. . http://www.ehow.com/how_4713170_between-latex-oil-base-paint.html
