Should I use BOOTP or DHCP?

DHCP is the extension of BOOTP. In BOOTP these operations take place at the boot time of host. DHCP is popular with ISP’s because it allows a host to obtain a temporary IP address while this is not the case in BOOTP. DHCP provides more detailed information and is more efficient than BOOTP.
