Default Painting a popcorn ceiling

I recently moved into a house with popcorn ceilings. The granules look
to be up to 1/4", and I think the paint is latex. The ceilings need
painting, but I've gotten several stories as to how to do this.
One - you have to spray paint, else the popcorn will just fall off
when it is wet down with a brush or roller.
Two - you don't have to spray paint, just don't thin the latex paint
and use a very long-napped roller.
Three - "shudder" - just strip the stuff off the ceiling.
Any advice would be appreciated! TIA

Furpaw:
June 30 and you had ceilings to do. I'm very curious what you decided
to do just over a month ago.
There were certainly enough opinions posted to provide more options
than you probably wanted. lol

What ever you chose - hope it worked out perfect for you !
