Priming old shutters - what product?

What would you use as a primer for 100 year old wood shutters that are a combination of bare wood, old oil-based paint, and roughly 10 year old latex paint? The latex is only on the fronts and sides. The backs haven't been touched in decades. I'm dealing with the peeling paint as best I can, but not completely in the crevices, especially on the backs.

I'm thinking one of these:

Slow drying oil primer (my original choice until I realized I couldn't strip them completely)
B-I-N shellac
Peel Stop

Or is there something else?
