A triangle. If you made a diamond or a square (which is really just a type of diamond) out of bendy straws, you could bend the them at their points. However, if you made a triangle out of straws, you couldn't bend it at its points. Therefore, a triangle is the most stable.

The shape is triangle
Why is triangle the strongest shape?
It depends on the circumstances. A sphere is the strongest shape for resisting uniform compression from all angles, either when their is a high pressure on the outside or inside (hence the use of dome shaped space suit helmets or dome shaped submarine windows). A triangle is the most rigid shape however, so if you want to cantilever an object, a series of tessellating triangles would provide the strongest structure (hence the widespread use of octet-trusses - the strongest known structure for cantilever stresses). A hexagon is the strongest shape when packed together in a tessellation, but only for compressive forces (hence the ubiquitous hexagonal forms in nature such as the bees honeycombs). The three dimensional equivalent of hexagonal grid is a lorimerlite structure, which is the strongest truss for resisting compressive forces.
What is the shape of something?

Can one diamond scratch another diamond?
Diamond is the hardest known substance, but one diamond can scratch another diamond. If that was not the case, there would be no way for jewelers to shape diamonds as they do, into faceted jewels, instead of lumpy stones.
