1. Probably St. Augustine. It goes dormant and looks brown part of the year, though. Have you considered xeryscaping?
2. Bermuda ... but get a hybrid as sod (sheets of grass with roots and dirt) because it's a far better grass. It's the best grass for the low desert.
3. You need a warm season grass. St. Augustine Grass is susteptible to a virus known as St Augustine Decline. Right now there isn't a lot known about it except that it is a virus and there isn't a cure for it, once you have it you can't do much to help the grass. Bermuda is another option but Bermuda requires extra fertilizer feedings. Another good option is Zoysia grass which is a good grass that isn't as much work as Bermuda.
