I know the majority of the OB promotes weed then feed so what do I use for this lawn grass mixture?

That's a tough one... Bermuda and Centipede require vastly different solutions, although of the same chemicals, to selectively combat weeds. Just about have to choose one over the other.

I have the same thing and I'm gonna try the Scott's turf builder weed n feed in the yellow bag. Says it's safe for Bermuda and centipede.

Try celcius wg by Bayer. It's about 100 per bottle but makes around 60 gallons. It kills everything but the grass.

The biggest problem with having both centipede and bermuda together is fertility. Bermuda needs higher rates of fertilizer, but centipede is very sensitive to over-fertilization. Too much nitrogen can cause decline.

As far as herbicides go for the most part, if it's safe on centipede it's generally safe for bermuda but not the other way around. Bermuda is tough as hell and can usually recover from just about anything.
