Non stop being poor and upgrade to Windows 10.

They are both LTS versions so it comes down really to a matter of preferance. I havn't used 16.04 yet, but If stability is your main conern stick wit 14.04 as it has been well documented and tested with

Personally I'd go for the more stable version. That said always worth firing up a VM and trying out a new distro to see if it tickles your fancy

Personally i always suggest the latest version -1 with ubuntu so you dont get buggy stuff. Btw if its for server enviroment stick with debian 7. Solid rock

dont get i386 for either if you have a 64 bit processor.
just want stable? 14.04
want new and cooler technology? 16.04
id get 16.04

i had tons of problems with 14. so i upgraded to 16 and now everything runs so much better

I would go with 16.04 since it's a LTS version, but I would install the XFCE flavor instead of using bloated unity and gnome3

It all depends if you use AMD or not, the newer 16.xx dropped support for flgrx completely and the new drivers arent friendly with most cards before the rx 480. So if youre an AMD user stick with lower version if not yes go to 16.04 and then 16.10 it's really smooth.

Yeah I'd give a shot to 16.04, I had tons of problems with 14.04. and I'd pick a gnome flavor to be honest or maybe even Xubuntu.

I am getting problem related to vmware.
Can't run vmware in ubuntu 16.04

14.04 was release in April 2014, why would you want something that old.
14(year).04(month)
i would really recommend you try this project, its easy, it looks nice, and it doesn't have a version number to confuse you it's rolling:

it's based on arch and i will not include any cancer unlike ubuntu.

I have installed Ubuntu 16.04, however i would recomend version 14.04 over 16.04 because 16.04 is sometimes unstable plus i have had compatibility issues like Intel OpenCL drivers which aren't developed for 16.04.
