Sawtooths aren’t native and can have issues with pests and disease. Most I’ve seen planted haven’t done well long term, but that’s not to say they can’t.
Since you’ve got a few acres I would look at getting a package of a few different types from nativ nurseries, they give info on what grows well in what type of soil conditions and that would be the biggest factor for me. A healthy tree is gonna grow faster and produce more and sooner, so getting a few types that produce well on your site will give the best chance at having consistent mast every year, and hedges against one or the other dying out.
