which is stronest?

Parabolic is strongest. It applies the pressure from above the best.

Strongest is the caternary arch. Its not listed there for some reason. A caternary is the shape of a chain dangling from its two endpoints. Flip that shape and you get an ideal arch (assuming no additional forces)
