I use the purdy mini dove rollers and frame although the frame is optional. I would recommend getting a wooster pelican or similar. I use one with a metal grid but it's no longer available, I have 2 pelicans that have lasted nearly 20 years each.
With eggshell the easiest thing is just to mask, cut in with a brush and roll everything with the mini roller. Brushing on can be tricky as @rhowe has noted, it is difficult if not impossible to go over your work when it's drying.
Rolling eggshell improves the eggshell finish in most cases, with a roller like the dove you can get close to a spray look with some practice.
