I'm building a gate out of 2x4s and latticed lath. What kind of brush do you use with acrylic paint? Does it matter? I have many brushes, different kinds, from the cheapies made in malasia made of boar bristle (?), plastic bristles, better quality natural bristle brushes I use for varnish, and others. Does it matter?

BTW, I primed it all with Killz 2 water based primer.
Use bristle brushes for oil base finishes, nylon for water base. Or other synthetic that won't absorb water.
Use a nylon bristle brush for either latex or oil. Not a cheapo -- go to a paint store and buy a good one.
Second that. I used to use cheap brushes - they put on the paint badly, left lots of hairs in the paint, and never cleaned well. I got a good Wooster brush - best investment I ever made. Smooth coats, nice supple hairs, cleans wonderfully.
