if you put in a sprinkler system, it may not matter.. save for your water bill, and i think its slower growing, so less mowing. I assume you're getting sod and not trying to grow from seed like I did... they may not have drought resistant sod, you'll have to check your local home center.
we dont water our "lawn" much, so we went with the drought and shade resistant blugrass... we have a large southern magnolia tree in the sidewalk strip and it sucks up most of the water.

it's a tad bit more work, and you do need to time it correctly, and it isn't as uniform, you gotta wait for results, especially if birds get to the seed, you get bare spots which you need to full in... takes a good 2 months to be fully established.
sod is easy by comparison, as long as the soil is well prepared, you could have a full ready lawn in a few short weeks.
Y'know, this may sound far-fetched, but we've gotta have some kinda Jdorama convention or something, so we can meet each other in person... Sad as it may sound, but I talk to you guys more than people in my office or neighborhood....
