Why each option
vSphere Update Manager supports patching and upgrading ESXi hosts and virtual appliances, but does not directly manage templates or vApp container objects.
Virtual appliances (pre-packaged VM-based appliances distributed as OVF/OVA) are a supported object type in VUM, which can scan them against appliance upgrade baselines and remediate them with vendor-supplied updates.
Templates are not a supported object type for Update Manager because they are offline master images used for VM deployment, not running systems that VUM can scan and remediate.
vApps as container objects are not directly a supported remediation target in Update Manager - the individual virtual appliances within them may be managed, but the vApp container itself is not a recognized VUM object type.
ESXi hosts are the primary object type managed by vSphere Update Manager, which patches and upgrades host software, drivers, and firmware using host patch and upgrade baselines.
