I am planting rye grass, but I need to know if there is a difference in impact on my Bermuda Grass between planting annual or perennual rye grasses.

I planted annual rye grass last year.[/list]

I think both have an impact but if you have had rye in the past you may be the best judge. Both annual and perennial will die when the hot weather hits but if we have a cool wet spring they may hang on into the Bermuda growing season. One year I had to rake the dead rye out because the Bermuda would not spread over the spot. Bermuda will grow over a concrete sidewalk but it wouldn't grow over the dead rye, go figure.
I don't think you will be happy with annual rye; it is not as dark green and it clumps and leaves green wheel marks on the sidewalk during cutting.

Another point my wife made, perennial is about 4x more expensive that annual rye.

I asked this questions on another post: Is it too late to plant annual ryegrass? I have an acre and need to get it in annual ryegrass so I won't have so many weeds next year.
