Your answer could be answered multiple ways depending on type of need.
If you are in need of urgent energy, Carbohydrates such as starch, glucose are the best energy storage molecules.
For mid-term to long-term storage need Protein and Fats are the best molecules.
Reason that Protein and Fats are long term storage options is human body cannot break down these molecules instantaneously to release ATP. These molecules first need to be broken down into carbohydrates which then gives the ATP. Thus total net gain of ATP is not considerable compare to if body has to directly utilize the carbohydrates as source of energy.
Thus your answer would depend on type of need.

Sugar is the quickest energy source beside sugar carbohydrates such as glucose and starch also provide instant energy. Carbohydrates are instant and large source of energy.
Fats are considered to be the richest and long term energy source because our body takes time to metabolize them.
Proteins are also a good source of energy.
