I am using tomcat in a vm running ubuntu 16.04 (parallels). I have also used ubuntu 16.04 in an instance in AWS. I have not used google cloud but I would think the process for setting up an ubuntu image is very similar. I would go w/ 16.04. I can't speak for how big your instance should be because that depends on what you will be using it for.
