Should I install VMware through LifeCycle Controller, or simply insert the DVD to install VMware ?

The Dell version includes agents and management tools so you can check the status of the hardware within VCenter. For example you can then see whether the disk array and it's disks are still OK. The Standard VMware version doesn't have those extras.
you can configure raid manually, and then insert DVD like normal installation.
you can configure raid while booting by pressing Ctrl+R

Yes, correct.

"i am not sure esxi 6 is supported by it or not. ". Do you mean I may not able to start ESXi 6 through LifeCycle controller ?
Do this Dell server has a small SSD that I can install the VM ? Do I need to allocate a disk to install the VMware ?

You can install ESXi onto a SD card or internal USB flash drive.
no internal disk is then required for the OS.
