I'd say "the faster you are, the more options you have" to keep both parts of the sentence in a comparative (rather than superlative) form.

You can form this type of comparative sentence with the + comparative, the + comparative:
the easier it is, the quicker you learn
the more difficult the exercise, the greater your chances of making a mistake

"The faster you are, the most options you have to win"
