For this full-repaint scope, my usual sequence is repair first, then spot-prime.
I generally brush the cut-ins and roll repaints. In suitable empty spaces, I may spray and back-roll. After preparation and spot-priming, apply two finish coats, observing the selected coating's drying and recoat instructions.

Spot-prime a filler repair for a painted finish. Do not spot-prime beneath a penetrating stain.
On previously painted cedar with sound surrounding paint, spot-prime exposed wood and the entire prepared repair, including exposed sound older coating and transitions where another layer has peeled away. Do not automatically prime the whole house.
