I don't like St. Augustine because of the weaknesses to water, grubs, and fungus. I much prefer Centipede grass. When thick, it will choke out every weed, even bahia and nut grass. It requires less water and less fertilize than any other grass, and it grows into a thicker, deeper mat than any other grass. I cannot tell you the best way to convert from St. Augustine to Centipede because I have never done that. I am on my 4th lawn now, and have lived through St. Augustine, Bermuda, and Centipede. But you cannot go wrong with Centipede!
