The most powerful classes in the game are - of course - the bard and the barbarian. Possibly not in a pvp, who'd-beat-who sort of way - but in actual play, doing what it says on the tin:
- No other class beats fools down like a barbarian
- And no other class is as universally, generally, kinda-sorta helpful as the bard
No reason to muck about with subclasses and so on. They can't lose either way.

Blanket disclaimer: I only ever state opinion. But I can sound terribly dogmatic - so if you feel I'm trying to tell you what to think, I'm really not, I swear. I'm telling you what I think, that's all.
You haven't listed any constraints at all, which makes *most* discussion here pointless - the answer is dependent on factors we have to assume, like level, race, and background, among others. And any assumptions we forget to be explicit about will lead to someone else (correctly) presenting a build that's superior under some other assumption. Just by way of example, Hexblade isn't the best Warlock subclass - but it's absolutely superb (best in the game) as the Warlock subclass you should choose if you're a Paladin multiclass. How are we supposed to even begin answering this poll?
Under a bunch of assumptions I just chose to make, Genie Warlock is the best subclass in the game and I am prepared to demonstrate it outperforming literally anything else. Is this answer meaningful to anyone but me? I doubt it.
Granted that this posted before the PHB2024 was released, but as they are not in the PHB, there is no way to understand what they even are so their awesomeness is greatly diminished to new players.
