You can get perlite/sand textures at any paint center or home improvement store. Just ask someone at the store.

As far as textures go, it's really a matter of personal preference. I prefer flat walls with slight roller texture... but you have to do a really good job on your taping and mudding jobs. You have to kill all imperfections, seams and edges. For my bathroom I went with a roller even though I have a sprayer. I did this for two reasons. One, because I like the texture, and the other being that it will be easier to touch up in the future. There is no way that I would bring a sprayer into a finished room and spray the walls in the future. Sprayer's end up being foggers and overspray gets on everything. Plus they are a pain to clean.
