In order to find the fastest charger, you have to attach the charger to the phone and notice the charging speed in the Charge Meter app. It should display the charging speed in terms of %/hour. For example, my stock phone charger is charging the phone battery at the rate of 7% per hour.

Keep trying all the chargers and the one that provides the fastest charging speed is the fastest charger for you. For example, if you have three chargers and they provide 7%/hour, 8%/hour and 8.5%/hour charging speeds, then you can pick the charger that is providing 8.5%/hour charging speed.
