Selecting the deployment tools

This question is not easy to answer. Different people will have different preferences and therefore favor different deployment tools. But perhaps we can roll up to the question from a different side as it is just the same if you use MDT, SCCM, or a third-party deployment.

It is important to use the latest ADK delivered with the Windows 10 release you are deploying. Your ADK should be at most one release older; have a look at the known issues page of the ADK before picking it. From this important requirement and the release cadence of one to two Windows 10 releases per year, we come to the next prerequisite.

Your chosen deployment tool should get at least one to two updates per year to support the newest features and newest ADK. As more and more configuration is not only done by GPO but also by MDM and WMI bridge, it becomes more essential that your deployment and configuration environment keeps up with the pace.

Last but not least important is the ability to script pre- and post-upgrade task sequences. You will most likely run into situations where you need to configure, update, or remove something before performing the upgrade, and the same applies to the phase after a successful upgrade. As some configurations can only be done from PowerShell, you should select a deployment tool with (direct) PowerShell support.
