Figured I’d get better answers here. What the best type of Bermuda seed for the money to put down? Live in middle Tennessee. Also, best type of start up fertilizer to use after I put down the Bermuda seed? Thanks guys

Does it have to be a seed? Celebration is the best bermuda grass.

Haven't dealt in seed much, but when I did I used Sahara. Ready available, and (as the name suggests) is very drought tolerant.

Do not buy "coated" seed. That is snake oil. Get all natural seed with no coatings 95-98% pure. There will be a statement of purity and germination on the bag. A bag of coated seed with 50% coating has one half the seed in the bag as uncoated seed does. Coatings are cheap and seed is expensive. Buy seed. (Basically all the stuff you find at the home centers and Wal Mart is coated. Go to an independent and ask specifically for "uncoated" seed.)
No true hybrids are available from seed. Sahara is a variety of common and really is not much different from common. Plant the common, fertilize well every year and keep your mower blades sharp and you will be happy.
Hybrids like Champion are bred to take close mowing and will look like a golf course if you mow it properly---preferable very close with a reel mower. Realistically you are probably going to use a regular mower and will not be able to mow it as close and as often as it needs to be mowed to look like a golf course so just go with common and use high nitrogen fertilizer like 34-0-0 or 33-0-0 a couple of times a year and you will be happy.
