You can use any of the three, Suzy. A sprayer is the quickest, but if you don't have one, you can still get beautiful results with brushes and rollers.
I've had the best luck with a brush to get into the small areas and a foam roller for the rest. Recently I redid a piece of furniture and you can read about that here.

I love my paint sprayer for big projects or with hard to reach places like spindles on a chair. Here's a set of lockers I makeover using a paint sprayer- https://www.justalittlecreativity.com/2017/01/chalk-paint-metal-lockers.html
However, I think you have more control with paint brushes.
But honestly, I think it's about using whatever tools you're most comfortable with. You may have to try a few things before you get into a good groove.
As far as paint itself goes, I use chalk paint on almost all of my furniture makeovers.
Hi Suzy! I can tell you how to paint your desk with Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint! :)
It is super easy to paint with Dixie Belle using a good paint brush:
Step one: Clean with White Lightning
Step two (optional): If the desk is made of a wood that might bleed, apply two coats of BOSS
step three: Paint one to two coats of Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint
Step four: Use Gator Hide or another top coat for extra protection
