Unless you have a specific reason not to - and you'd know if you did -
then use generic.

(There isn't a separate "Upstart" *kernel*; the Upstart boot entry
arranges to boot the system using the upstart init system rather than
systemd, which may be useful as a recovery path in case the switch to
systemd doesn't work for you.  It will very probably stop being
available at some point between 16.04 and 18.04.  If the default boot
entry works, then you should use that.)
