And to elaborate, the reasons you might want to use a DNS challenge are to acquire wildcard certificates, or to acquire regular certificates on a machine or domain which isn't directly internet-facing. If neither of those apply to you then the regular HTTP/TLS methods are fine.

OK I was sort of thinking that might be the case but wanted to make sure in case I had to start prepping now, thanks. We use no wildcard domains today, maybe down the road.

Wildcard domains are a great way to get certs for all your "internal systems" with only having to expose one (or a bit of one on DNS) to the Internet at large.

This is going to greatly simplify some of my scripts.
