I think scotch bonnets are the hottest peppers. Most Scotch Bonnets have a heat rating of 150,000–325,000 Scoville Units
Most habaneros will rate between 100,000 and 300,000 Scoville units. Several growers have attempted to selectively breed habanero plants to produce hotter, heavier, and larger peppers.
The Red Savina pepper is a cultivar of the habanero pepper and has been tested and certified as the "World's hottest spice", as listed in the Guinness Book of Records; however the Dorset Naga pepper is claimed to be over three times as hot as the Red Savina pepper at 970,000 Scoville units.

The Habanero Pepper (aka Scotch Bonnet) is the hottest variety of pepper. A specially breed strain called the Caribbean Red Variety is currently touted as being the hottest

I know it's considered a tie between Scotch Bonnets and Habaneros, but in all honesty I haven't been able to find genuine Scotch Bonnets in my area. Some markets consider them to be the exact same thing, but (botanically) they're not.
There's a strain of Habaneros, which I've found through some local growers; it's known as the Chocolate Habanero. I don't know if you'd be able to find it at your local supermarket, but you can always ask.
These peppers are bred to have a pale- to dark-brown skin (which resembles milk chocolate). They bear NO OTHER resemblance to chocolate, however. And they are HOT. I use hot peppers--all varieties--frequently, and these things damn near killed me.
