The best, most expensive paint over a poorly prepared surface
is a waste of time and money. Clean & prep & prime where needed.
Semi-gloss for high traffic, child-use areas and kitchen / bathroom,
where it will need to be wiped clean often.
Flat for the other rooms - it hides the little defects better.

Everyone dies alone.

We can't recommend paint without knowing where you are. Your
use of the word "flat" suggests you are not in the U.S. or
(perhaps) Canada.

For my family home, I would use a flat latex-based paint
manufactured by Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore, since
I have used those brands in the past.

Must be regional. At least in upstate NY 'I have a flat to rent' would be
common usage.

Semi-gloss latex. Flat is OK but the semi is easier to clean. There
are white paints made for ceilings.

The blue "painter's tape" for masking works well.

Tastes vary. I'm interested in cleanability only in the kitchen
and bathroom. All other rooms get flat, with semi-gloss on the trim.
