Why each option
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) is the industry-standard method for booting a computer over a network to install an operating system.
USB 3.0 is a local physical interface for storage devices and does not facilitate network-based OS installation.
IEEE 1394 (FireWire) is a high-speed serial bus interface for peripheral devices and has no role in network OS deployment.
PXE allows a client computer to boot from a network-hosted image before a local OS is present, communicating with a DHCP server for an IP address and a TFTP or WDS server to download the boot image and OS installer. This is widely used in enterprise imaging and deployment scenarios.
NTFS is a file system format for Windows volumes and is unrelated to the OS installation transport method.
