There is no sure way of telling which is the most aggressive, depends how you keep it, and on the fish's own personality.

My fangs puffer (also known as red eye) is probably the most aggressive fish i keep. Feeders make a bad diet for any puffer though.
 
Fahaka is generally considered to be the most aggressive FW puffer. They grow to approximately 17 inches, and require a minimum of 125 Gal tank.
 
I think that fahakas are the most aggressive, and must be kept alone.

I agree w/ you on the first point, but not on the second one--mbus are the largest FW puffer species, reaching 27+ inches.

ahhh.. OK. someone once told me fahakas were the biggest.
 
Definitely the fahaka for most aggressive. I have taken care of a range of puffers, FW, BW, and SW, and the fahaka is by far the most aggressive.
 
out of those two, id say the red eye. if your open to suggestions... FAHAKA! lol
