Use both a brush and spray. First prep the brick by pressure washing. Repoint any loose . When the wall has dried for several days use an airless sprayer to apply the paint. Back brush to get the paint in all the places the sprayer missed. Then apply a light coat over what you back brushed .
I painted my house in Phoenix (years ago) twice during the time I lived there. The brick really takes a lot of paint. I used a brush and roller but wish I'd used a sprayer because I think it would have gone faster and been easier.
I used a sprayer and painted our brick house and at the aluminum siding one solid color about 10 years ago. We taped off the windows and cut in just as you would if you were doing an interior room. The sprayer made the job easier especially on a two story home with a good size pitch on the second level. We haven't had to paint again. We spent a little extra money to get a premium exterior paint. And, it definitely paid off in the long haul.
