Skip the Zoysia... your neighbors will thank you.
I've done sod twice. If you do it yourself in a smallish area its not too hard. A huge yard will ruin your back (and any friendships you had at the start... if you have friends helping). You have to water a LOT, but the lawn is there from the get-go and looks good. Do NOT put it down with hot weather approaching or it'll be tough to keep watered.
If you're in no hurry buy a top-grade seed (low on weed seed) and watch it thicken.
