Will the paint and primer together paint over masonite paneling?
I find your meaning a bit difficult to understand. -You don't paint and prime together. -The primer must be applied first and become totally dry before painting is carried out. If you're concerned about covering ability, use a good thick primer like Kilz. It will completely hide anything. If the masonite is pre-primed, then a paint and primer in one will work fine. If it is bare, then you need to treat it like wood and either give it two coats of the paint and primer in one, or better, give it a coat of primer, then paint.

What type of primer should be used on new walls?
If you use a 100% acrylic primer on bare drywall, you should have no problem with top coating it with any sheen wall paint. Many flats are self priming on bare drywall though, so you may be able to save some money there. Just ask the paint store what the recommended primer is to determine what the most economical solution is. For exterior work, use a block fill primer for bare block, a hot stucco primer for new masonry less than a month old with a pH of 13 or less (check with a pH pencil) or a 100% acrylic exterior primer for any bare wood surface or bare masonry surface over 30 days old.
