What color primer to use? (self.minipainting)

So I'm about to begin painting for the first time, but I'm not sure what colors to buy. I play Star Wars Legion so I'll be painting a bunch of stormtroopers, death troopers, and other very monocolor minis. Should I use black and white primers for them? Or do neutral grey and paint the colors?

Bonus points if anyone can tell me if wildspire minis are good for a first time project.

Hey, if you didn't already paint all your minis I found great video with examples how you can use both speedpaints and various types of primed bases with zenithal trick for fast gradients: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT2JV3Ks41g

And here you have practical example how speedpaint works differently on different base colour: https://youtu.be/WjfHiwczl84?t=182
