Silver is the best
Material Resistivity (Ωm)
Silver-------- 1.47×10−8
Copper------1.72×10−8
Gold----------2.44×10−8
Aluminium- 2.82×10−8
Tungsten----- 5.6×10−8
Brass--------- 0.8×10−7
Iron------------ 1.0×10−7
Platinum----- 1.1×10−7

It would be mobile valence electrons. The free electrons are what move to cause electricity. Gold is the best conductor.
