I did my 19 skiff with Rustoleum topside and like it. Was more impressed with the paint than I was with the primer, be sure to have the store shake the cans for you. Goes on easy with a 4 inch foam roller and cleans up easy with mineral spirits. The top coat actually gets better with time as it hardens up after a couple weeks, and is super easy to touch up, that and the cheap price tag and ease of use my reasoning for going with that brand. I did the deck with Glidden porch and flooor tinted seafoam green, didnt add any grit to it and it doesnt need it in my opinion. As far as how much to buy, here's how it works for me, if I buy two cans I'll need 2 and a half, if I buy 3 I'll only use 1 and a half. Something I really like about having paint vs gelcoat is the ease of cleaning, doesnt stain, you can almost just wipe it down, no hard scrubbing of black marks etc. I've thought about painting the J12 even though it doesn't need it just to have it match the others. If I ever have any spare time ever again.
