Generally speaking (and the key word is generally), latex is superior to
oil in almost every case these days.
Yes, there are very specific applications where oil might be a better
choice...but damn few anymore.
Also generally speaking, you can use latex over oil...but not the reverse.
Some manufacturers suggest primer between the oil and the latex.
