You can checkout Easy2Boot (I started using this recently, before I was using YUMI) - Easy2Boot

I have 1 64GB USB stick that can start many things including Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 installers, Linux distributions, repair disks and everything that can be bootable with a CD/USB (exceptions may apply :))

Then I use EasyBCD to add an image to boot menu.
This way it loads quick straight from HDD.

Hi,
I kind of prefer cd's
One they don't take up disk space until loaded,
Two it's easier to boot to with newer motherboards bios which do not like flash drives very much without jumping through bio settings hoops.

iso's are great for using them in a virtual machine and of course you can burn them to other bootable media as stated.
