Why each option
To install SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode on an application server, the correct feature selection is 'Reporting Services - SharePoint', not the add-in component.
Reporting Services Configuration Manager manages native mode report servers and cannot add a server to a SharePoint integrated mode deployment.
Selecting 'Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint products' installs only the front-end integration components for SharePoint WFE servers, not the full SSRS service that must run on the application server.
When installing SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode on an application server, you must select 'Reporting Services - SharePoint' on the Feature Selection page, which installs the actual report server service as a SharePoint shared service. This is distinct from the RS add-in, which is a separate component installed on SharePoint web front-end servers to provide UI integration.
SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode cannot be placed on web servers and load-balanced via a URL pool; it runs as a SharePoint shared service on application servers.
