Another vote for converting the rust before doing anything else.... my own preferance is for Fertan, which need water to work, and I like the irony ....
Then paint with an etch primer, and then I use tractol paint ( on eblag ), as it is solvent based, and quite unpleasant toxicity wise .... ( take precautions )...
Undersides I use fertan as required, and then coat with Bilt Hamber Dynax S50 wax - I'd suggest this might be useful on your damaged powder coated stuff too, as it will creep under the powder coat, keeping the water out...
Sadly, there will be rust you have missed on your tanks - if you apply a converter, you'll get to see the rust being destroyed in the tiny pits which you can't get to .... not even sandblasting can get to them all .... ask me how I know .....
I am a big fan of fertan as well (not on my skin) - it works really well and you dont need to over coat it immediately.
for a zinc rich primer I like bonda-prime
