When you guys say better, what exactly do you mean? Better germination,

Brands can make a difference. There is a certain percentage of weed
seeds in all grass mixes, some more than others. The composition of
the grass mix; ie, some have seasonal grasses which turn brown in the
winter. My neighbor uses K31 and there is a striking difference in
the color and type of grasses. Whatever brand/type you decide, select
a grass that grows best for your particular area (ask around
locally--nurseries, garden centers, co-operative extension, neighbors,
etc). Also ask the best time of year to overseed (in my location this
is around September). Always buy high quality seed. When you buy
grass seed look at the date and pass up anything older than 8 months.
As seed gets older germination is reduced.
