Emacs 27, definitely.  That's what the master branch develops, while
emacs-26 is the release branch, which is closed to new features.

CONTRIBUTE is supposed to explain that, under "Branches".

We don't plan releases around here.  Currently, the master branch
still has several features pending/not finished, so Emacs 27.1 will
not enter pretest, let alone be released, before least 6 months from
now, probably a year.

Emacs 26.3 will be released from the emacs-26 branch if we decide
there are enough bugs in Emacs 26.2 to justify another 26.x release,
or if some critical vulnerability is reported that cannot wait until
27.1.
