C-h v ispell-program-name. Mine says:

,----
| ispell-program-name is a variable defined in ‘ispell.el’.
| Its value is "/usr/bin/aspell"
| 
|   You can customize this variable.
| 
| Documentation:
| Program invoked by M-$ and M-x ispell-region commands.
`----

And if I check `ispell.el' I see the choices:

,----
| (defcustom ispell-program-name
|   (or (executable-find "aspell")
|       (executable-find "ispell")
|       (executable-find "hunspell")
|       "ispell")
`----

So if you have installed aspell and emacs can find it, it will use it automatically.
