Since lockdown I've undertaken quite a lot of redecorating ("sprucing up" really).
I've exclusively used Dulux "Trade" emulsion, and my experience echoes the opinions in the link above.
It has been much better in coverage than the "retail" variety, I've even managed to get away with one coat overpainting a similar but slightly different shade.
It also appears to "splatter" considerably less than retail emulsion, making it easier to apply quickly. (Frankly, the Matt White Trade is thus better for ceilings than the thick stuff that was sold in trays as ceiling paint).
I prefer matt finish, but IMO a silk finish gives a more wipeable surface in a bath/shower room than matt.
