Default House Painting question

I need to have the trim on my house painted: eaves with three foot overhang
and a 2x12 Facia Board, about 1700 sqft altogether, all previously painted
and in pretty good condition. The underlying wood is rough-sawn. I am using
flat paint to preserve the rustic look.

One contractor suggested 2 coats of paint sprayed on; another contractor
said it would be better to spray on one coat and go over it with a roller to
press the paint into tiny cracks.

What is the better way? What will last longer?

Thanks

Walter
