I use Zinsser AllCoat most of the time these days. I'm using the Satin for first time and it seems pretty thin but probably just what I'm painting is a patchwork of repairs. I've just ordered some B.I.N. Aqua which should be a good replacement for coverstain as a primer on bare wood, it's moisture vapour permeable unlike coverstain. Only just released though, I'll get a chance to try it this week.
One of the paint systems that gets old timers misty eyed is the oil based Dulux Weathershield which has a very thin initial primer that soaks into the wood, that primer is no longer made (I still have bit!) I've got some windows that were painted in that system 13 years ago which still look pretty good. A lot of painters like the waterbased version too.
The oldest All Coat ones I painted are about 7 years old now and holding up ok.

This is probably a very unlfgss answer, but I bought this as it's what was in Wickes (which is down the road):
On our porch 2yrs(?) on its fine. On our concrete slab seating area it has chipped from the kids playing with stones.
So my assessment is that it's fine where there won't be foot traffic, but I'm not sure any paint, paint, would hold up to that.
