It depends how hard your average hit is.

If you are not hard hitter, then go for Bryce type least spin-softer rubber(Maybe T64). If you are really hitting hard as if you are breaking someones chin with your racket, then go for the thinnest rubber possible.

Its very hard to say.
Usually I use to say that the fastest rubber is the one the player feels the best, controls the best and plays the best with.

A well designed test may show "the fastest", but most probably it will be some kind of graph of the speed dynamics depending on the strength of impact, and it would be executed with flat hits.
Spin implementation may change the picture a lot. The dead no spin ball is more unstable and decelerates much faster than the top spinned one, and this is even more expressed with the new ball, which tends to go faster with the increase of the top spin.

So depending on the particular player style and top spin abilities, as well as the particular rubber system design, including many factors plus tangentional deformation and reaction, the results may be very different from an "objective test graph".

There is this motorcycle on the market that is the fastest bike money can buy. Problem is, when a normal, good cyclist buys this bike, their average life span after buying that fastest motorcycle is about 3 months. Not the bike. The person riding. :)

Oh, wait, we are talking about TT equipment. Mark V is the fastest. Yeah. Get that. :)

OP has to define fastest.
If fastest is the time from strike to bounce, then it will be one the pips out rubbers or an inverted in flat smash mode.
However, the fastest a ball can travel when hit by a human in a match, is somewhere around 72mph. This can be achieved by any pro using any normal offensive oriented equipment.
