I'd prefer at least El Chapo, or really Noriega because the CIA angle is juicy material.  Or even one of the major drug rings in the US (although that's arguably been beaten to death in the movies).

Im pretty sure the Cali cartel became bigger than Pablo. Pablo spearheaded the cocaine movement into the U.S. and around the world. But once his empire fell, the Cali's came in and swooped it up to combine with their already existing exports in the U.S., which was mainly the New York market. And NYC was actually a bigger market than Miami because it had way more people and more money. Cali would have both, and the west coast to boot. 

But one thing that the show hinted at, and I read up on, was that the CIA was way more heavily involved with the Cali's than it was with Pablo. So I have a feeling season 3 & 4 will have a lot more of a CIA angle.
