Hi Bronson,
Basically Control Panel help you to manage your Accounts, Domains, DNS efficiently but it depends upon the requirement of an individual.
Talking about selection of a Control Panel, It depends upon the OS you select for your Dedicated Server, you can select cPanel Control Panel for your Linux Dedicated Server and you can use Plesk or DotNetPanel control panel if you select Windows Dedicated Server as these control panel are more user friendly as compared to other control panels.
Hope this helps
