the one that I can trust the most vs the one whom I can trust.

Both of these phrases are fine/correct, but they're used in slightly different contexts. 'The one that I can trust the most' is used when comparing multiple options to find the most trustworthy one. 'The one whom I can trust' is used to specify a single person whom you trust. The choice between 'that' and 'whom' depends on the formality of the context.
