During rush, do I wait to be asked if I am a legacy or mention it once or twice and leave it at that?

Make sure you mention it to the rush chairs and if someone asks why you're interested in that house tell them all the other reasons that it's your first choice and mention that you also wanted to check them out because you're a legacy.
I'm also kind of interested in how you know they're your first choice if you haven't been at UF and don't know anyone in any house, but if you have your reasons, ok. I would make sure you at least look at all the top tier too if you think you have a shot at bids at those houses.
All 4 at UF are strong and you want to make sure you pick the one that is the best fit for you, the big 4 (SAE, KA, EX, ATO) are better than the rest of the houses, but there isn't one that is significantly better than the other 3 to the point that it should be everyone's first choice.
Another reason to look at multiple ones is that if you suicide rush and don't get a bid at your first house by late in the week you're out to dry. Spend a good amount of time at any of the houses you would consider taking a bid at if you got one.
