To get the best type / brand of grass seed is to check with your local nursery. Since they live in your area, they can best recommend a product that would work well in your environment and will also tell you how to properly plant and maintain it. Good luck!
Be environmentally friendly, use plants native to your area. A good ground cover that is a fast grower, easy to maintain, easily pruned & beautiful burgandy colored in the fall is Parthenocissus quinquefolia (VirginiaCreeper). Happy planting.
Terms are also another alternative.

some of the best ground cover options for shade include English Ivy, Ajuga, and Pachysandra. Creeping thyme and yellow archangel are two excellent choices
