Primer

Kilz and CoverStain are primers that also work to hold back water and other stains. Once the Kilz is dry you can apply any type of paint over it without using any other primer. I've always used a flat latex paint for ceilings.

Both the primer and the finish paint can be applied using a roller, though you'll need to use a brush to "cut in" around the edges. My favorite type of roller cover to use is called a "Kodawool". It seems to have the best pick up and release of the material. A 1/2 inch knap is probably sufficient to get into the seams between the tiles, though I'm sure you'll have to use some pressure to get the cover into them.
