If you've never scraped popcorn before, take a garden sprayer and lightly mist the popcorn, give it a minute then when you hit it with the scraper it should just fall off..

Personally I would say roll it unless you are experienced with spraying paint and using a spray rig. It's certainly not rocket science, but if you are trying to figure out how to use the machine (and correct any malfunctions that come up), and how to apply it correctly you will probably spend more time spraying than you would rolling.

I'm for spraying myself. You do have to tape everything off and be sure to cover your floors with some drop cloths...but it is way faster than rolling it, however the downside is that you tend to go through more paint.
I'm finishing out a ~1000sq ft addition on my house...it has 10' ceilings and an area in the stairwell that is about 25' tall (that was a bitch!). Once we got past the drywall and texture I decided to just pony up for a spray rig instead of renting one....Home Depot gets $90/day for their units. I found one of these Ryobi units on sale for $169, and it has been a great investment......
I think if you look around you could probably find one cheaper than that.70' Chevelle RagTop
