Which moon would look the brighest from the surface of Jupiter?

The answer your looking for is the moon Europa. It is one of the brightest in the solar system. The problem with the question is that if you were to stand on the surface of Jupiter which is very small and considered to be metalized hydrogen because of the pressure, you would also be a part of the surface and quite unable to see anything because you would be quite dead. Even if alive, you would have to be able to see through thousands of miles of the gaseous atmosphere. See the related link for more information.
