The best measure of a star's brightness is apparent magnitude. Apparent magnitude indicates how bright a star appears from Earth, while absolute magnitude measures the intrinsic brightness of a star at a standard distance (10 parsecs) regardless of its distance from Earth. Both are important, but for assessing brightness as seen from Earth, apparent magnitude is the direct measure.
