Inside paint will last practically forever whenever the brand or cost. Outside paint will eventually fade from either the Sun or your water sprinklers hitting your house probably an 8 or 10 years. The cost of the labor is three or four times the cost of the paint so for an extra $100 you can get a better paint and maybe get a few extra years without repainting. So on a $2,000 job you can spend maybe a few hundred bucks more and know you're getting a better paint. Of course if you're planning on flipping your home in 3 years it just doesn't matter
