you could go with

tuff cab (aldcrofts) - waterbased
tuff cab pro - waterbased
warnex - waterbased

trimite - solvent based
bedliner - solvent based
2 part paint - solvent based

even better is

2 part pu paint - solvent based

or the daddy of paints

Line x - solvent based

the first one can be put on with a roller, the second 4 can be used with a roller, but best finish spray on. the next 2 you will need full spray gear pressurepot etc, the last option needs to be done by a line x sprayshop.

Yeah I was looking at tough cab, I'll probably go with tough cab pro though, it has a nicer less glossy finish and supposedly it's more idiot proof, but thanks I'll make sure to look at those! Also, do you know if I can apply a design with another paint over the tough cab?

The Warnex that I know of is water-based. (Not that water isn't a solvent but...) ;)
