Sod or seed

Central MS. I'm tearing out part of my backyard deck, which will leave bare ground roughly 25 x 10'. The backyard only gets a few hours sunshine per day. Therefore, Bermuda is questionable.
Any suggestions on what I should do, Sod or seed?
My backyard has a mixture of many grasses and we don't put much effort into it, unlike our the front yard.
I want to go the simplest and easiest route possible, we will only be in this house for two more years.

We pulled up a flower bed in our back yard and laid St Aug sod. It's easy if the ground is already bare. And it took off in just a few weeks of watering.
It sounds like your space will be pretty squared off, so it should be a breeze.
You can do that with less than 1 pallet.

If you have the capability to run a small subsoiler that would make it better.

Getting rid of it in a couple years, expert gardener kwik grass seed at Walmart and a bag of triple 13 fertilizer broadcasted on all bare dirt with a sprinkler about 20 minutes every night. Easy and cheap.

Sod is simpler and easier. More costly.

product description says "for temporary lawn" ? ... just how "temporary" is this, not familiar with that term for grass seed

Would be budget dependent. No budget, go with sod, tight budget go with seed...

No idea? All I know is bare dirt will turn green with grass and remain green.
