I can think of three measures:-

Biggest - as in greatest number of solar radii
Most massive - as in greatest number of solar masses
Most luminous - as in highest absolute magnitude

These three are fairly closely related? Sorry I forget what I've learnt of stellar evolution.

Are there different candidates for each from amongst relatively stable stars?
