13.04 is a standard release with 9 months of support. The upgrade path
will be 13.10.

12.04 LTS is a Long-Term-Support release with 5 years of support until
at least April 2017.

For new production deployments I would recommend using 12.04 LTS with
Cloud Archive enabled to use stable and latest Openstack Grizzly
release. You then will have the option to upgrade base OS and/or
Openstack Releases anywhere between now and 2017 as best suits around
your deployment schedules and requirements.

Regards,

Dmitrijs.
