Harribel survived, and Kubo have stated that Grimmjow is alive. All the other Espada are confirmed dead.

Regarding the Stern Ritters - except for the ones we saw in the first strike, some of them, like a few of the females revealed today, seem to be there just to fill up the alphabet. FOr example, the unnamed male looks dead serious compared to a guy like Mask De Masculine, he reminds me of Yammy. Alot of muscles and physical strength, but not much more.

I think Stern Ritter P, Meninas McAllon, looks alot like Orihime, btw.
