Why each option
Interactive ESXi 6.x installation supports booting from physical or network media directly. Scripted and Auto Deploy are automated methods that do not involve interactive prompts.
DVD is a standard interactive installation medium where the ESXi installer boots from a physical optical disc and prompts the administrator for input at each step.
USB flash drive is a fully supported interactive boot medium for ESXi 6.x, allowing the installer to run with administrator prompts just like a DVD.
PXE allows the host to boot an ESXi installer image over the network and still present the interactive installation wizard, requiring administrator input to complete setup.
Scripted installation is an automated, unattended process driven by a kickstart configuration file, which means it requires no interactive input and is not classified as an interactive method.
Auto Deploy is a stateless, policy-driven provisioning mechanism managed through vCenter Server that streams the ESXi image at boot time without any interactive administrator prompts.
