I choose Ubuntu 13.10 for my Ubuntu 14.04 Test-VMs and it works fine.

It shouldn't matter if you choose Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10, 13.04 or 13.10 as 
all OS types have the same values.

If you want Ubuntu 14.04 in your OS selection create the following file:
# vi /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/01-ubuntu.properties
os.ubuntu_14_04.id.value = 1256
os.ubuntu_14_04.name.value = Ubuntu Trusty Tahr LTS
os.ubuntu_14_04.derivedFrom.value = ubuntu_13_10

and restart oVirt engine:
# service ovirt-engine restart


Regards,
René
