I'm sorry but, I've been painting for forty years and used to make paint for "Minnesota Paint Inc" they helped pay for my education. I thought enamel and oil paint was the cat's meow until they started really formulating water base paint. Now, you can't beat it.
I recently retired after twenty years in my own business and I used water based exclusively.
It will bond and adhear as well as or better than the best oil based paint on the market today.
If you use a "Kilz" Water based and a Good "Dutch Boy" You'll not only get price but quality included.

Howdy Old School. I have been a painter for only the past 10 years, so I will tell you about the New School.
This New Schooler says you are exactly right.
Latex is good for exterior, but Not as a primer.
Go to your local ICI Store (Largest Paint Company in the World), and ask them for an Oil Base Stain Jammer. This product will not only prime the bare spots of wood, it will inhibit the tanans that the wood releases. If one were to use a Latex primer, it would prime the wood, but 9 times out of 10 there would appear what would look like a stain one the wall, those are tanans from the wood. Only Oil primer can solve that.
You can use ICI's "Weathershield" Latex top coat for your finish. I have used this product in 6 countries, it holds up very well in any surroundings.
Enjoy the project. Be Safe when on the ladders.

C'mon old timer. You know it won't be the "last time" no matter what you do.
If you re-paint with oil, latex or shellac primer, the same things gonna happen for the same reason. Moisture, embedded in the wood.
I'm new school and say go vinyl siding. But I know thats radical.
