Why each option
VMware officially supports three load balancers for vCenter Server HA with an external PSC: F5 BIG-IP, VMware NSX Edge, and Citrix NetScaler.
Windows Network Load Balancer is not on VMware's validated compatibility list for vCenter Server HA deployments with an external PSC.
F5 BIG-IP is an officially validated load balancer that provides the Layer 4 load balancing and health-check capabilities required for vCenter HA failover.
VMware NSX Edge is natively supported and integrates directly with the vSphere stack, making it a validated option for vCenter Server HA with an external PSC.
Citrix NetScaler (now ADC) is on VMware's supported list for vCenter Server HA and provides the required TCP health-checking and failover features.
Linux HA Proxy, while a capable open-source load balancer, is not officially supported or validated by VMware for vCenter Server HA with an external PSC.
Concept tested: vCenter Server HA supported load balancers with external PSC
