Why each option
VMware supports three primary methods to upgrade an ESXi host from 5.x to 6.x: vSphere Update Manager, esxcli, and vSphere Auto Deploy.
vSphere Update Manager (VUM) is the primary GUI-driven method for orchestrating ESXi host upgrades across an environment using baselines and remediation.
vihostupdate was a legacy vCLI utility deprecated before ESXi 6.x; it is not a supported upgrade path to ESXi 6.x.
The esxcli software profile update command allows administrators to apply ESXi image profiles directly from the command line, enabling in-place upgrades.
vSphere Auto Deploy can reprovision hosts with a new ESXi 6.x image on next boot using image profiles and host profiles.
esxupdate was an older ESX (classic) update tool that is not supported for upgrading to ESXi 6.x.
