What is recommended standard image that works on InstaGENI?  

I'm trying the new ExoGENI snapshot mechanism to see if it will work for importing InstaGENI images into ExoGENI.   I'd like to try it on the most commonly used InstaGENI image.

Also, I will need to be root on the VM.  I've tried several images and none of them allow me so become root.  Maybe it is the image... maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Hi. UBUNTU12-64-STD is the most common image. And well maintained.

Use sudo. If that does not work, send details please.

On all of these images, your use should have sudo powers. If you need a
root shell, just run sudo bash or the equivalent for your preferred shell.
