In my experience, either USB-FDD or USB-HDD is what you want to choose. I believe it depends on how the flash drive is formatted. FAT32 and any derivatives or similar ones (ie, exFAT and FAT) will probably be the USB-FDD option, while NTFS and EXT formatted flash drives will boot when the USB-HDD option is selected.
This is something that I often test multiple times. If one doesn't work, hit Ctrl + Alt + Del to reset before the main OS boots, then try another one.
I would go with usb-Zip as you want to boot from a usb.
