Which version of Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi should I download?

I'm trying to host my website from my Raspberry Pi 2 which I will be using as a headless server that I will ssh into. I want to install Ubuntu on it.





  • Should I use this download link which is from the Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi webpage?



    http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases/16.04/release/ubuntu-16.04-preinstalled-server-armhf+raspi2.img.xz




  • Or should I use this one from the Ubuntu Server installation page?



    http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04.1/release/ubuntu-16.04.1-server-arm64.iso?_ga=1.52277674.2032651905.1471210409




I am also unsure what the differences would be and would like to know what they are.
