Martha Stewart Paint is just a paint branded with her name and made by someone else, probably Sherwin Williams. There are many very good paints that are better. Get the top lines from one of the main manufacturers, not a private brand. If you think Martha mixes paint in her kitchen, you are crazy.
I primarily use products made by Dulux, which is a company that owns Glidden, Devoe and others. They are very good paints.
Also, if you were to look at Consumer Reports, you would find that the private label brand that Lowes sells is rated as one of the highest in quality - it is made by Valspar, an incredible company. Their outside latex paints are the easiest to spread that I have ever used.
Home Depot basically owns Behr, which is not a very good paint, and they also sell the lower qualities of Glidden. Behr, which is what they will push, will not hold a candle to Sherwin Williams, the better qualities of Glidden by Dulux, Banjamin Moore and other old timers in the business.
In any case, do not place faith in the term "one coat." You might cover your wall, but you will lack the depth of the color that you have chosen - unless you are painting over with the same color, or close to it, do two coats.
Don't use Duron! It is one stop too far on the wrong side of good paint.

I have not used it as of yet. Sherwin-Williams is still a benchmark in the paint industry. I hope this helps...
