I started out using just water, and I eventually started using this mixture which is a cheap alternative to GW's lahmian medium:

I made a big batch of that and transfer it into a dropped bottle as needed. 1:1 paint to medium for base coats, 1:3 or 1:4 paint to medium for layering depending on the color. I think in most cases using water is "fine," but when going thinner for layering, I found this mixture helps the paint to still behave more like paint than water when it's super thin.
For me the trick to learning smoother and more vibrant layering has been "if you can see the difference after one layer, your paint was too thick." Once I drilled that into my head and trusted that it'd look better over a few thin coats, I leveled up considerably.
For primer, I just use regular old spray can Rustoleum white, black, or grey (or all 3 for a zenithal highlight) depending on the size and detail level of the model.
I have worked on both plastic and metal minis and found no difference -- a quick spray of primer, and they both behave the same cause you're just painting on the primer anyway.
