I just picked the 6.x version to be sure it was compatible with 
everything else.

You say the latest LTS, but the LTS are supported for five years. Don't 
they release new LTS more often than that? According to this 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS They release a new LTS every two years and 
they're supported for five years.

If I pick Ubuntu 12.04, which is the latest LTS, they still support 
10.04 until 2013.
