Best lossless codec from Premiere for coloring?

Neutral

Hi all,
So I have a hefty project I'm working on. It was shot in 4k on the alexa mini in prores 4444. I edited everything in Premiere and I'm guna color it in davinci resolve. There's a TON of small specific things I did in the premiere edit like scaling in shots, re framing, nesting and warp stabilized shots. All things resolve will not be able to handle well when trying to import with an AAF or XML. So I thought what I should do is export a lossless video file from premiere and chop it up in resolve myself or use an EDL to chop it up. I've been color grading for years and really love it. This is my first time being able to work with footage from a really good camera with a lot of color depth to play around with so I want to get the most I can out of the grade. What codec should I export from Premiere? The logical answer would be prores 4444 I'm guessing, but I'm on PC. I don't have that option with premiere. So right now I'm looking at DNxHD. But I've never used it and there's so many different kinds I'm a bit lost.
If you have any suggestions or experience with this I would really appreciate some help, thanks!
