I can’t stand the pine straw so I am getting that replaced. Now it’ll probably be bark/mulch. Any comments about putting the rubber mulch down? Thanks for the advice.

PLEASE say no to rubber mulch.
it is expensive and leeches bad stuff into the soil. It would be illegal to bury it in a landfill even. LARGE size pinebark will control weeds better than any other mulch.
Different weeds require different measure to get under control. Sadly there is nowhere close to enough people out there pulling weeds as a business to cover the need.
I do suggest Preen being used soon and often to stop most of the "new" weeds from emerging. At least then you can focus on getting the existing weeds under control that came up from the soil below.
