That is not an option in my case as it is too slow, requires more interaction, is less flexible and is not scriptable. The scripting features of kickstart is really useful. For instance I use the %post section to install vmware-tools if the system is running on vmware (I use dmidecode to detect this). Using kickstart even with some manual interaction also ensures more consistency in the installations so in my opinion it is a really good idea even for just a few systems.
