If you're using SCCM to control WSUS, do not use the WSUS Admin Console. It's a good idea to just delete the shortcut all together. Approve updates in SUM (SCCM Console, Updates Section).
Conversely, you can have both installed and just use WSUS; you're not required to use SUM. In either case make sure you're site setup is configured correctly for whichever you choose.
SCCM's approval process is different than WSUS and the client will no longer use the WAU service to install updates; the CCM service will install the updates.
If you're a little fuzzy on how to deploy updates with SUM, Microsoft has a Guide.
And there's very in dept documentation for Software Updates in Configuration Manager.
You want to use Configure Automatic Updates and choose Download and Install, Every Day, and a time.
I don't believe there's a maximum number of "postpone reboots" or a way to turn off the selection screen, but if it applies before the user arrives you won't have that problem.

With GPOs you can only do basic software distribution tasks (i.e. automatically install some software), and you don't have much control on this process.
With WSUS you can do all of your patch management, but it's not a full-featured desktop management solution.
SCCM is exactly this: you can manage almost everything on your network using it.
System Center Essentials is a reduced bundle of SCCM and SCOM, tailored to small- and medium-sized companies.
