Areas that get much traffic require at least 6 hours. If your light is marginal, fescues tolerate shade better than bluegrass or ryegrass. If you don't plan to water during summer droughts, or your soil does't retain much water, fescues again are your best choice. Fine fescue doesn't stand up well to traffic. Chose one of the other species for lawn areas that take a lot of wear and tear.
Kentucky bluegrass is the slowest.
The fescues fall between the two. Kentucky bluegrass spreads by underground stems called rhizomes. It forms a tough sod. When damaged, the rhizomes can creep back in to cover the bare spot. The other grasses are bunch grasses that don't spread as well or form as dense a sod.
