I generally PXE boot my servers and my desired packages are listed in
kickstart configuration files. If you have locally mirrored the CentOS
mirror then PXE booting and pointing your servers at your mirror is a
no-brainer.
Even if you've not locally mirrored CentOS packages, I still think you
would do well with the netinstall ISO. Small image and _only_ the packages
(or package groups ) you select are downloaded (versus larger CD or DVD ISO
images).

What was it that you had before? Details.
Maybe you copied the ISO contents to your USB drive and made it bootable
with syslinux?

You can configure partition layouts in kickstart configs ... did you do
this with your former bootable USB drive?
