What is the dialog for? That may determine whether an installer plugin
or a script is more appropriate.

An installer plugin won't run at all from a command line or ARD
install, so you wouldn't have to use the COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL
environment variable. It also lets you show your dialog and other UI
within the installer window, instead of launching a separate
application.

That's something else to be aware of — a script on its own cannot
display a dialog, it would need to launch a helper tool.
