HELP! New Construction Lawn Seed or Sod?

We live in central MS. We moved into the house In late fall. Currently we don't have any grass... Just some weeds that grew during the construction last summer. We did quit a bit of dirt work on the site to build it up before construction so the yard has a pretty good slope to it. I'm trying to decide between seed or sod and want to be prepared to jump on this as soon as the winter rains subside. My concerns are that we will till up the site and then have erosion problems. I know the Sod would be a better option for that reason. The yard is about 1300 sq yards and the cheapest sod installer is asking $2500 to lay Bermuda. I know seed would be much cheaper, but I'm worried about taking that chance and having to bring in more dirt by the end of the summer, because the seed didn't take well enough and we had some major erosion. Anyone have any experience or advise?
