It depends where you are. Standard Mandarin is your best bet for most places in China and Taiwan, and is about %50 in the US, Canada, etc. Yue Cantonese speakers were the first immigrants to non-Chinese places, but they've pretty much evened out with Mandarin now. In places such as Singapore and Malaysia, where a Chinese language is one of the spoken languages, it's usually also Cantonese. However, the greatest percentage of Chinese speakers are Mandarin speakers.

There are also a couple of less-known dialects in other parts of China.
