Why each option
VMware Converter (vCenter Converter Standalone) is the dedicated VMware tool for physical-to-virtual (P2V) migrations of servers into vSphere.
vMotion migrates live virtual machines between ESXi hosts within the vSphere infrastructure and has no capability to interact with physical machines.
VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is purpose-built to perform P2V conversions, cloning the disk and configuration of a physical server and creating a compatible VMDK-based virtual machine in the vSphere infrastructure. It handles Windows and Linux source machines and supports both hot and cold clone methods.
vCenter Server is the centralized management plane for vSphere and provides scheduling, inventory, and policy services, but it has no built-in functionality to convert physical servers.
OVF transport is a format and mechanism for deploying pre-packaged virtual appliances from vendor-supplied templates, not for converting physical machines.
