The problem with this approach is that each time an update is released,
you have to recreate the install in order to keep it up to date. Using
the recovery method, though it takes longer, always installs the newest
operating system right away.
Original message:
You could always download El Capitan from the app store, then use
createinstallmedia (in the resources folder) to create a USB installer.
Then boot from that and install.

Nice work, Mike.
As you discovered, the Erase function of Disk Utility now allows you to
choose the partition scheme. The Partition function allows you to
partition disks.
I love the idea of using the Recovery HD from a USB drive, and I’m glad
to see that the Recovery Disk Assistant still works, but that’s still
as many copies downloaded from the Interwebs as Macs to upgrade. One
of those Macs would have to be a cache to mitigate this. For three
Macs, you’d only have to download the operating system twice.
In case you missed it, the recovery image was itself updated; I hope
you didn’t do a software update to find that there was a newer image
available. The update only applies a fixed recovery image, though, and
it would be easy enough to recreate your drive.
As to the OS itself, even after 10.11.2, I’m still gritting my teeth a
lot. I love the hardware-software integration of OS X, but my finger
is still on the Windows button.
