Sanding with 150 grit, then using a high fill primer and one sanding of that is usually enough prep for finish painting.
Bubbles might be a little easier to work out of peel ply. Both techniques can be useful for different conditions. (Peel ply replaces the fiberglass fabric weave surface with a much finer dacron weave, which is not glossy.)

Ken, I have learned that peel ply is Polyester Taffeta at the discount fabric store
I am buying some for $2.45 per yard in 48" width to do some testing.
