To better answer your question, you first need to decided where you want to manage your DNS records, i.e. through cPanel or via the (free) DigitalOcean DNS Manager?

Ohhh... that means if I use Vanity private nameserver, I will have to manually add domain in DNS setting of DO control panel for every domain hosted on my VPS.
