It certainly is a safe practice to use the same brands, but I've never had compatibility problems between primers and subsequent top coats. I've sprayed almost every imaginable brand of enamels, and several types of lacquers, over the three primers I listed earlier.
BUT ... make sure the primer coat is dry. I wait at least 24 hours after primer coats, and longer if I can still detect an odor, meaning it is still outgassing solvents.
