Default Paint confusion?

Hello

We have just had our walls skimmed and they are ready for painting -
but, I have a question!

The plasterer says, to just waterdown some cheam emulsion, paint that on
and then use a normal vinyl matt as a top coat.

The dulux decorating centre say, don't do that as it will crack, use
"super Matt" or "contract matt" and live with the fact that it will need
to be redone in 6 months or so and that it will scuff.

The Artexer says, to use a acrylic based undercoat and to then use an
ordinary emulsion as a top coat.

Ummm, who's right?

Cheers
Mike
