Espada is apples and oranges to the ranks of the menos. Calling an Arrancar an Espada is like calling a Quincy a Sternritter. It's a rank, not a class. Like Kamikaze said, the only confirmed ones were Halibel and Aaroniero (the ONLY Gillian class Espada) but confirmation or not, Stark HAD to be a Vasto Lorde before meeting Aizen. Most likely Baraggan too. Everyone else was most likely an Adjuchas class.
