Default Which single statistic is most valuable about other players?

I am curious about the value of poker statistics on opponents. You are playing 5 strangers at 6max. You happen to have a stat database with 500 hands on each of the players. Unfortunately it limited to showing you only one statistic of your choice. To maximime your results which one would you pick, if any?

if only 500 hands, BB/100 in unrel and VPIP is going to tell me most about whether he's a fish or not.

Interesting point.

At first glance bb/100 would seem like the best one. Maybe it is, but a typical database would usually have 500 hands or less on a random stranger. I picked aggression factor since it gives me an idea how willing they are to press their hand.

with only 500 hands, vpip hands down (with infinity hands arguably vpip too). bb/100 is the most useless with this sample

i think its vpip no matter how many hands. its vpip by a mile if we only have 500 hands. and this thread pointless.

BB/100 is an awful choice.

VPIP - Since I don't remember screen names as easily as faces, it's probably best to know immediately if a guy that just sat down is loose or tight preflop over the 500 or so hands I might have played with him in the past, but don't remember.

Second most important would be post flop Total Aggression.
