Best type of Bermuda seed for BR area.

Howdy all,
I have decided to try and overseed my Centipede yard with Bermuda this summer/fall. My yard gets full sun and is very sandy, seems like a no brainer.
Everytime I find a strain of Bermuda that I like, its sod or plugs only. I want to seed due to cost and lazyness. I dont care that it will take much longer to fill in, the Centipede will do fine until then.
What is the best strain/type of Bermuda for the BR area. Kids and dog play in the backyard daily.

I do plan to hit it with high nitrogen fert once seed is spread to help it germinate and stunt the Centipede as well.

La Prima or Royal TXD
I’ve used Royal TXD and it’s done very well.

How thick is the Centipede?
Try your best to get good seed to soil contact with the Bermuda.
Use Hancock seed and start sooner rather than later if you want better success.
Mow really low and 2-3 times/week after the seed is established to promote growth.

This looks like a thread for you.

I did a seed reno this year on 3,000 sq ft with La Prima and it was very difficult. I did get full coverage by the end of the season without very many weeds, but it took a lot of hard work and help from @greendoc along the way. The end result is a grass I'm ok with but not thrilled about. It grows vertically extremely fast and loses color in the fall before my regular grass which I assume is Celebration. The color is pretty light as well. La Prima is not a dark green grass. The only thing I really like is that it spreads like crazy. I ended up nuking weeds from 40% or so of the lawn and the grass filled itself back in within weeks.

I'm in the middle of a lawn reno experiment with LaPrima. It does grow vertically crazy fast. I'm currently trying to push it to get rid of the St Aug I've got. My recommendation is to nuke the yard completely then rake out all the dead stuff before dropping seed. I didnt and wish I had. So I'm likely going to be spraying quinclorac later this summer to kill of the St. Aug, then do another round of LaPrima seeding

Got some at Cleggs that they recommended and it is kicking arse. Much better than any brand name seed I've used from a box store.
