Totally forgot about the Vision.

The issue with this is that while it acknowledges stuff in the books, I feel like it doesn't really give it the weight it deserves. 

The big players are Stannis, Dany, Jon, and Tyrion. 

The rest of the Lannisters are done. Their power is temporary and losing fast. The public seems to accept that the rumors of incest are true.

Baelish, while clever, has no claim and never will. This world recognizes legitimate claims or seizing power (as the Targaryens did). 

The High Sparrow, representing the faith, brings up the possibility of a theocracy, but it's more likely they would find a family to anoint to rule the kingdoms. 

I think a Targaryen returns to power because it's what is known to this world. Whether it's Dany, Jon, or Aegon, I don't know. Tyrion comes into play here as the natural King of the Hand. I believe Jon respects him and Dany will too. I'm more inclined to suggest Dany becomes queen because Jon would most likely advocate for a free North and return to the Wall to defend against the Others. He'd die Lord Commander at an old age because he respects his oath thanks to the values Ned taught him. He may very well assist Dany in her fight and serve as a link between her and the North. Then again, maybe he considers his oath complete as he has died and come back to life. 

I just don't know how Bran and the Children come into play. I'm assuming their worry is the same as Jon's: the Others.
