Titan, since it's orbiting Saturn is further away from us than Jupiter's moons are. Titan is 2,575 km in radius and has a magnitude of 8.28 (easily visible in a modest telescope).
So:

Titan: 2,575km (radius) 7.9 (max apparent magnitude)

Galilean Satellites: (magnitudes ranging from 4.6-5.6 when Jupiter is at opposition with the sun)

Ganymede: 2,631km (4.6 is max apparent magnitude)
Io: 1,830km
Callisto: 2,410km
Europa: 1,561km
