I'd like to spray a 18" strip around my house's foundation to rid
myself of all vegetation BEFORE I rototill it up and put down heavy
fabric and rocks. But I fear that anything that can kill bermuda grass
(of which I have an abundance) and rabbit brush will also lay my yard
to waste

Black plastic will work, but there is no need to kill everything. If
the only reason for killing stuff is to till, it will still be tough
with remaining roots/sod. Cut the grass and put your fabric and rock on
top. It isn't going to grow through the fabric and rock.

You apparently haven't tried to kill/control a fully-established Bermuda
problem, then...

It will simply continue to tiller underneath the plastic/fabric and come
out wherever the edges are. It's truly evil stuff where it isn't wanted.
