Why each option
Long Distance vMotion and Storage vMotion are used together to migrate a virtual machine's compute state and its storage across a WAN to a remote site.
Storage vMotion migrates the virtual machine's disk files (VMDKs) from the source datastore to a datastore at the destination site, which is a required step when relocating VM storage across sites.
Long Distance vMotion extends standard vMotion to support live migration of the running VM compute state across WAN links with higher latency and limited bandwidth, making cross-site migration between geographically separated vCenter instances possible.
High Availability provides automated VM restart on an alternate host within the same cluster when a failure is detected, but it does not perform planned or live migration of VMs to a separate remote site.
Cross vSwitch vMotion enables migration of VMs between different virtual switches within a local environment, but it is not designed to handle the latency and topology requirements of WAN-based or cross-site migrations.
Concept tested: Cross-site WAN VM migration with Long Distance vMotion
