skirting boards again...mdf pre primed or pine

I generally only fit the pine skirting if the customer will want to stain them to allow the grain to show through. If the skirting is going to be painted then I use primed mdf.
If they are going to be painted, I would go for MDF against real wood, no knot problems, as you say no need to prime.
I primed mine though. I fitted using glue & screw, then filled screw holes, rub down, (gently) then gave a prime, followed by one coat good gloss. Im happy with the finish, although I only look close when Ive had the extra beer.
