Default Basic decorating Qs

Hi all

After 8 years the wife finally can't take any more of the custard yellow
colour of our front room so I've been given my orders to do something about
it. *My plan of attack is to

Fill any cracks
Sand down filler, woodwork etc
Wash down all over
Emulsion ceiling
Emulsion walls
Gloss woodwork

But before I start I do have a couple of questions

1. Is the above the correct order to do things in
2. Any recomendations on brand of paint to use. Thinking of the white for
the ceiling here as the wall paint will be somewhat dependent on what SWMBO
picks colourwise
3. Does everyone still use rollers or are paint pads the way to do it
nowdays

Cheers

Gloss before emulsion. You can wipe emulsion off gloss, but not gloss
off emulsion.
