Foam type mini rollers are the ones to use and quality does have an impact. Some I've had recently the foam came away from the core of the roller after a few mins use.

Also to get rid of the bubbles lay the paint off vertically with a really good quality brush 2" min, but as wide as possible.

There are some good youtube videos of this technique used on canal barges to create a perfect finish.
