I am not commenting on the relative merits/stability of the widgetsets, 
but if OP will install using the system package manager, then the gtk 
version of Lazarus is most likely what will be installed on an ubuntu based system.

Keeping that in mind, I'm simply recommending to follow the path of least resistance.
