Welcome to the Community,

you can basically use any license, even the free Hypervisor license.

However, please keep in mind that the free license has a limitation of a max. of 8 vCPUs per VM, and restricted API access, which prevents from using most commercial VM based backup applications. In case you wand/need backup access, an Essentials Kit license will do.

Please note that ESXi 6.7 is not supported for your hardware. According to the VMware Compatibility Guide​, ESXi 6.0 Update3 is the latest supported version.
