Hi...

I think I lean on the ones with the highest known bounties after the timeskip -excluding Luffy and Zoro, of course-.

-Law managed to tip the balance of the New World only to take down Doflamingo, even though he's established an alliance with the Straw Hats -which was expanded to the Minks and the Wano heir and retainers- to drive Kaido onto the ground and played a relatively minor part in the foundation of the Grand Fleet. Looks like the D. is making a storm again, indeed.

-Kid managed to mantain his dominance in infamy among the Worst Generation for a long time, while at the same time targeting Big Mom. That speaks volumes about him. If Kid manages to free himself from Kaido, no doubt he will do whatever he pleases in the New World. As for Killer, he managed to get the biggest bounty for a non-captain Supernova for a long time -before being surpassed by Zoro-, so he surely has his own game. I only expect him to try to do something about his captain's unfortunate situation.

-Hawkins and Apoo managed to rack up their portions of notoriety and to ally themselves with Kid. The only thing that drags them down a bit is having current status unknown (Hawkins) and siding with the one who outclassed them (Apoo).

-I wonder why Bege is one of the least popular WG Supernovas according to the results of the latest two polls -not counting the current one announced for the 20th Anniversary, of course-. Maybe since he is plotting to take down the Yonko who defeated him, and having a lot of experience of power-taking since he was a Mafia boss, he will rise in the polls and in notoriety in-universe.

While not having their current bounties revealed, we know that Drake managed to get Kaido's attention and later allying with him somehow; Bonney evaded her arrest by unknown means, but we do not know anything about her crew, and Urouge is more than he -and his Pre-timeskip bounty- meets the eye for he put one of the Sweet Commanders out of comission.

What I do expect, as a fan, is that Oda-sensei fleshes out more of each of these rookies, names a lot of their crewmembers -the cat in Hawkins' Pirates and several of the On Air, Bonney, and Drake Pirates caught my eye at first glance-, and gives them major roles towards the final arcs of the series. Curiously, all of them were created in a rare positive example of "Executive Meddling" (look on tv tropes or All the tropes) and quickly rose into importance onto the large cast of One Piece.

As for Blackbeard, he is due his first apperance after the timeskip, as well as the process he used to obtain Whitebeard's quake powers (it seems it is not related to the Yami Yami no mi, for Burgess tried to steal Luffy's fruit admist the chaos in Dressrosa).
