Default Primer for painting exterior walls

CIL has a latex primer called wood and galvinized metal primer, if the
stucco is the califonia type stucco, no primer is required, just latex
paint, if it is glass stucco I would use an oil primer.

I am in the process of repainting my house. I need a primer for the
exterior stucco wall, eave mount fascia wood boards, the aluminum gutters
that are attached to the fascia board etc...

The paint store suggested that I get a special primer for each surface - a
masonry sealer for the stucco wall, for the fascia board use a wood primer
and for the gutters use something for metal...

But as I pressure cleaned them, the original paint on the walls, the
gutters
and fascia boards are still there, there are spots that were removed by
the
pressure cleaning but that is less than 5%. Therefore the primer will be
applied not over the raw materials - stucco, wood, alumnimum, but over the
existing paint which is arcylic. Following that logic, I would say it
makes
no sense to use a wood primer to paint on a fascia board that is covered
by
more than 95% existing paint, hence I need a primer for existing paint
surface, right? or am I overanalyzing?

Thanks in advance,
