the LTS version of Ubuntu is preferable for server installs where you
want long term stability.
the versions of postgres in the ubuntu standard apt repositories are
perfectly adequate for production use, up to date, and well managed.
there's a bunch of ubuntu/debian specific command wrappers like
pg_lsclusters, pg_createcluster, and so forth that come along with that
install.
