trusty is supported until April 2019.

xenial is supported until April 2021.

bionic is supported until April 2023.

trusty is really showing its age, many recent releases of projects have
issues with its outdated packages. I also wouldn't worry too much about it.

xenial also lacks some things, but is not as bad as trusty.

Everyone who want to build recent releases on Ubuntu LTS should be using
bionic.

I also wouldn't worry about non-LTS releases, as they are only supported
 for less than a year.

Kind Regards,

Bas
