Vanilla means 'without mods'. The normal DayZ Standalone is vanilla.

Oh ok, so if i want to try some mods is it correct that the best way is to use the "DZSALauncher" that will automatically download mods when i join a server? Have you any advice on the best servers/mods to try? Thanks

That is indeed correct. And about the servers, it highly depends on your preference. There are servers which are PvP-oriented/only, servers with increased loot, servers with decreased loot (DayZ Underground), etc.

Is there somewhere a list of the most popular mods and their description?

Yes, you can use the Steam Workshop for that. Go to Browse -> Items -> Select either most popular (and time period total) or most subscribed.
