Why not consider zoysia? Hybrid bermuda seems like alot of intensive maintenance, from what I’ve read
Everything I've read suggests that the Tiftuf Bermuda is relatively easy maintenance. But I know
nothing about grass. Is Zoysia much easier to maintain?

I sodded Palisades Zoysia last year. About 20 pallets of it. Unfortunately I still need about 10 more pallets. It took really well. I mowed it about once a week but I was watering the piss out of it since it was the first year. I was cutting it slightly high at 3" all year, but it was the most plush lawn I've ever owned. I applied some SR nitrogen and that was about it last year. It is in full sun with only one cedar tree in one part of the yard for shade.
I'm waiting to see how it comes out of dormancy this year, but hopefully all will be well. I got weed and feed and fertilizer down a little late this year but it's about 45% green as of right now.
I purchased my sod through King Ranch Turf Grass for $250 a pallet (price on their website was $300; had a contractor hookup). Not sure how they stack up against what you're seeing. Think I paid the company that laid it about $1,800 if I recall correctly but I had already done all the dirt work and had the pallets delivered and staged around the yard. They showed up and started throwing squares.

I have Empire zoysia in a section of my yard and St. Augustine grass in the other. In the beginning of drought, zoysia is usually the first to brown up (dormancy). But even a little water and it bounces back quickly and completely. St. Aug. is not as fast to brown, but when it browns, a good chunk of it dies.
I would think hybrid Bermuda would be the best at “drought avoidance”. But it’s also gonna need a reel mower for mowing several times a week and more fertilizer (in general; I don’t know the specifics of each variety you mentioned).
