Since leucisticism(sp?) is a lack of all pigmentation I would have to say they are the whitest.

A leucistic snake may be the whitest but it is not an albino. A leucistic snakes lacks pigment producing cells. Alibino snakes have these cells but they produce little or no pigment. A leucistic snake will have dark blue eyes and not the classic pink that you see in albinos. (There are a few leucistic albinos out there so you can find so leucistic albinos, pink eyes, for the most part they do have blue eyes)
