The blue whale is the fastest, the sperm whale is not far behind and the right whale is the slowest. The blue whale would be the only one with a well defined fin (a dorsal fin) on it's back. A sperm whale (like all toothed whales and dolphins) has a single blowhole at an angle on the top/front part of its head, so it has a single blow that comes up at an angle. A right whale (like all baleen whales) has a double blowhole on the top of its head. It has a double blow. A blue whale, even though it also has a double blowhole has a high and straight blow. There are several good field guide books that show the difference between the blows of different types of whales.
