I use Vallejo for brush on primer and Stynylrez for airbrush priming. Vallejo appears a bit thicker to me so dilutes better for brush on priming. Stynylrez is already very runny and will go through the airbrush without thinning. I found Vallejo much more awkward to prime with. I nearly always prime with black.

For terrain I’ve used Halfords, Rustoleum (from Wilko if you’re UK-based) and the Poundland primer mentioned above. All were fine and my choice depended mainly on whichever was in store. Poundland sells out of primer fast round here. Not sure if @avernos can confirm but last time I looked for Halfords primer they were only pushing grey with a view to you spraying another, non-primer colour over the top. Hopefully that’s a flash in the pan and they’ll bring their usual range of coloured primers back.
