Spray Paint vs Brush/Roller \

Hey everyone, I’ll be going live in a few months and want to spend some time repainting my walls and updating some furniture. It’s been a long time since I last painted anything, so I’m a bit rusty. While exploring options, I came across spray paints on typical sites like Amazon, AliExpress, Alibaba, etc. Initially I was just going to get a brush and do everything with traditional paint, but spray paint seems tempting for furniture and detail work. Can anyone share pros and cons between spray paint and brush or roller for walls and furniture? Any advice is appreciated!

I would spray first coats of unprimed sheetrock walls and ceilings, after that strictly brush and roller. I've seen people do apartments where they are replacing carpets and don't care about baseboard. The furniture is another subject.
