The AOSP build tools aren't highly sensitive to the exact version of Ubuntu they are being run on. I have used versions 14.04, 16.04, and 18.04. Within the last month, I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04, and I have no doubt that the AOSP build will work on that platform. I tend to use stable, long term support (LTS) versions of Ubuntu, just to keep away from experimental versions of packages. Any LTS version will build AOSP just fine.
