Spray paint tends to have a rather inviscid composition that lends itself to nice smooth finishes (except around sharp edges). Brushes and normal paint often leave brushstrokes (unless you thin the paint correctly).
I'd go with Cory, much better overall finish.

Stays on way better than regular paint, plus while our parts are out to powder. We have time to work on other items.

Like Cory said, we have about 2-3 powdercoat sponsors that do about a 4 hour turnaround for us. Only takes about 2-3 hours to really powdercoat a part.
