I tried man do-release-upgrade and got this:

-d, --devel-release Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is 
possible

-p, --proposed Try upgrading to the latest release using the upgrader 
from Ubuntu-proposed

Will these options get me the version that's meant to be released or 
some beta version?

Is there any advantage to using us.archive.ubuntu.com other than the 
route to the server being shorter and hopefully faster?

Thanks for your suggestions.
