What species will be the beneficiary of the next global extinction event?

The K-T extinction is thought to have left the way open for mammals to become the next "big thing" in terms of development and evolution.
If such a disaster were to happen tomorrow, what would be the next successful species? Some existing species or some new branch of the tree of life?

    Possibly some deep sea creatures. A couple of thousand submarine sailors if they are on patrol. Cockroaches. Animals similar to the ones left after the K-T extinction event.
