I agree with John, and would suggest using the karmic AMIs.  karmic
will be released as both Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud images and EC2 AMIs on
October 29th [1].  You can test the Beta, which as no significant
known-issues at [2].  We would very much appreciate your usage and
feedback.  Additionally, daily builds are available at [3].

I really suggest you take karmic as your starting point.  The priorities
for us are in at the moment are karmic and then hardy (the latest LTS
release).
