Which is natural to fill in the blank with 'highest' or 'largest'?
I think 'largest' is often used for number, so 'highest' is better for this instance.

The most precise word to use here is "highest".
But "greatest" is also a popular choice.
People tend not to use "largest" with "percentage" - best to avoid that one.

'highest' sounds more natural. low-high
on the other hand, "largest", has to do with size.
