Macpherson's Eclipse is a good cheap emulsion for a mist coat (I just got 5l for £9) - dilute by 20%
This is better IMHO than PVA as you can see better if any areas need more filling etc.
I'm doing this today :-(
Dammit, are you doing a few coats?
If you're using Easifill or similar use 2-3 passes over joint ideally using progressively wider taping knives. Then sand.
Alternatively use proper plaster.
