In general, avoid Ubuntu LTS versions when dealing with BTRFS, as well as
most enterprise distros, they all tend to back-port patches instead of using
newer kernels, which means it's functionally impossible to provide good
support for them here (because we can't know for sure what exactly they've
back-ported). I'd suggest building your own kernel if possible, with Arch
Linux being a close second (they follow upstream very closely), followed by
Fedora and non-LTS Ubuntu.
Then I would build my own, if that is the preferred option.
Ubuntu also provides newer kernels for their LTS via the Hardware
Enablement Stack:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
So if you can live with about 6 month time lag and shorter support for
the non-lts versions of those kernels that is a good option.
As you can see 16.04 currently provides 4.4 and the next update will
likely be 4.8.
