If there was a Ubuntu 14.00, I'd try the package from that, but do watch for conflicts. You can render the system useless if it conflicts in just the wrong way. ( replaces libcurses or something equally as apparently innocuous )
The reason I don't use Ubuntu is that Ubuntu tends to come with versions of things that are too new. Debian and CentOS are both fairly conservative distributions, and for Rivendell, the fewer new versions of things a distro has, the more likely it'll work, as long as it's not so old that it won't recognize one's hardware.
If it weren't for hardware compatibility issues, I'd still use Debian 6, which has QT3 and doesn't install pulseaudio by default, rather than the current Debian 7. But new hardware usually demands something newwer than Debian 6, alas. I had one motherboard a couple years ago where the Debian 6 installer wouldn't recognize the hard drive controller, making installation impossible.
