You'll want to prime the bare metal with a good epoxy primer. As for brand I've used PPG DP series of epoxy primers....expensive but good stuff. PPG also has their less expensive line of paints called Omni that is good as well.
One brand that I've been using lately as well as numerous reputable local body guys, is a brand called Northstar. They make real good products and at a reasonable price, but I don't know if it is available in your area.

Also IMO media blasting is the best way to go, that way you don't have anything hidden that may show up later. I don't think you'll have any regrets as long as the blaster knows what they're doing.
