I'll be brewing my first sour, recipe below, and cannot decide on the primary Saccharomyces strain: White Labs 644 Saccharomyces "Bruxellensis" Trois or Lallemand Belle Saison?

I know that these yeasts will create vastly different beers, so I appreciate your opinions and feedback. In addition, I'll be adding some dregs from a few different sours listed below.

3 Gallons - OG 1.06
7# Belgian Pale
0.5# Red Wheat
0.5# Rolled Oats

0.33oz Galena Hops @ 60 - 18 IBUs

Yeast: WLP 644 or Belle Saison
Dregs: Brewery Vivant - Angelina, Jolly Pumpkin - Bam Biere, and Odd Side Ales - Touch of Red

Once I pitch the Sach and dregs, I plan on letting this go a minimum of 90 days before I even think about taking a gravity sample (and I plan on keeping this all in primary). Once the sour/funk is to my liking, I'll toss in some oak for a few weeks, and bottle so long as gravity is stable.

Like I said, this is my first sour, so any and all advice is appreciated.

Thanks!
 
644 would be my vote. Also lower the hops under 10ibu or better just skip em all together.
