If you mean which stars are intrinsically brightest, the largest ones... luminosity classes 0 and I (hypergiants and supergiants, respectively).

If you mean which ones appear brightest, it's mostly the closest ones. The brightest star from Earth is obviously the Sun, which is very near indeed (about 8 light minutes away). The second brightest is Sirius, about half a million times further away, though still quite close as astronomical distances go at a bit over 8 light years away.
