I'll be painting my new room addition in the next few days and am still
in a quandary over whether to use a latex or oil based primer. The
addition itself will have a flat latex final coat, while the adjoining
kitchen will have a semi gloss topcoat. All areas are new drywall.
Any advice appreciated!

At big box stores such as home depot, they sell latex or acrylic primer
especially for the first drywall coating. Maximum adhesion of final coat,
and good wallboard sealing features. Technically, whether you use latex or
oil topcoat, any formulation of primer, oil or latex, will work fine as an
undercoating, but since there are formulas just for new walls, you might as
well use them..

And, there are some "latex" primers that are touted as acting as vapor
barrier. No significant difference in price, IIRC.
For best results, you might even want to apply (2) coats to the
wallboard joints- a light one on the joints, then the whole deal.
