Liquid emulsion requires some thickness to achieve a good density so you cannot generally use a puddle pusher. If emulsion hits the paper unevenly, the paper swells and creates uneven spots.
For a beginner, a brush is good, but you may have to dilute the emulsion to make it spread right and you may have to put on more coats.
I use stainless steel to measure emulsion. Any non-magnetic stainless will work as long as you clean it and dry it afterwards.

My apologies to those of you who are all too familiar with my defense of puddle pushers for emulsion coating. They work great with a little pre-preparation. A brush will give you a totally different look. It may very well be the look you want, but it must be said again that there are a number of very good coating options. Here are a couple:
