Powder and Primers?

Everything for reloading is scheduled for delivery tomorrow except for bullets, powder, and primers. I have been approaching this by researching one reloading step at a time and now I am researching powders and primers. I will be near a Sportsman's Warehouse tomorrow and would like to pick up some powder and primers so I can practice pulling the handle on my new press.

For powder, it appears that I need to be using Vihtavuori N110, IMR 4227, Hodgdon H110, or Accurate No. 9 or 1680. Please respond with what powder you use for subsonic 220 and/or 240 grain bullets.

I have read so much now that all the information is starting to run together. I am getting confused about what is recommended for .308 subsonic as opposed to 300 Fireball subsonic. I remember reading where someone recommended always using magnum rifle primers for .308 subsonics. What do you use for 300 Fireball? Please respond with actual part numbers, if you have that information handy, to help me locate the correct primers in the store.

As always, thanks in advance,
