Orks, in the end. They reach beyond this galaxy, and I've seen people make points on how the orks would be able to hold off the tyranids in this one, without even mentioning the aid of extragalactic orks.

As much as I hate them, like the End Times, Chaos will win.
40K has many traits of the Cthulhu stories, in which the reality is that, in the end, all is for naught and man will fall before the gibbering, careless hordes of mad gods whose existence predates mankind.
If I had my choice though, the Tau would take mankind's place and bring a gentler rule to the universe.

Necrons. They have a machine that can destroy entire solar systems. In. An. Instant. And also, they are immortal. That's sort of an advantage in a galactic battle especially since travel times are either very long you die before you get a quarter of the way, or you go through the warp and get eaten by your own imagination.

Tyranids will multiply after each victory, and expand exponentially.
Necrons are immortal, and can go dormant while the rest of the races fight it out.
Chaos will die out as the mortal races get killed off.
Orks will fight to the end, and die off through boredom.
Tau is too small to last long.
The Imperium is at war on all sides, and has no way to keep up the fight long enough.
Eldar are dying off anyway.
So, Tyranids won't have any need to eat Necrons, who will probably just move to the dead planets the 'Nids leave in their wake.

I'm betting Necrons, If they wanted, they could just hide in the extra galactic void.
They could also beat Orks i.e. superior tactics, easy spore eradication, far better in void warfare, etc., etc.

Da nekrons aint really immortal, not if you krump dem hard enough and spread da pieces around so dey don't stik back together again.
Da bugz'll jes' go on to the next galaxy when dey get bored wit' dis one.
Kaos will always have da warp, but dey don't come out of it enough for dem to kall it a win.
Da Empra will bite da big one, eventually, and da rest of da humies will go wid 'im
Eldar / Deldar is tough, true enuff, but der aint enuff of 'em to take over the whole galaxy.
Tau....Fuk da Tau.

Nids or Chaos
Some friends and I at the FLGS have had this same discussion and I always came back to the same conclusion that it be Chaos. Fluffwsie chaos is a very powerful enemy but when you really look at all the strengths of Chaos and why they will will it all comes down to one thing. GW wants them to win because...... Well reasons. It almost is comical how powerful chaos is in fluff. They are always the strongest and are always capable of undermining every advantage one my have against them. They are basically a Mary Sue villain.
Let me state I do like certain factions inside the CSM such as Thousand Sons, Alpha Legion and Iron Warriors. But I just think GW just needs to redo some of the fluff for Chaos just to make them seem less comical......
But if I had to choose someone else to win it be the Da Orks. because Orks are Da Best. lol sorry my ork sucks

Exactly what I think. 'Nids will eat everything else and then move out of the galaxy because there would be no bio-matter left. Necrons come up and take the galaxy back.

Yoo humies is all wet.
The nidz has da best chance, because when dey eat a werld dey really go all in and eat eveyfink. Dey get all da ork spores, too, see.
But if dey accidentally ferget one boy who got stuk down in a krevice, see, he'll make a whole buncha spores when da bugz leave, and purdy soon da whole planet'll be filled wid orkses again.
Nobody else has a chance of killin' all da boyz, and kontainin' all of dere spores, see. Purty soon okses'll be poppin' up all over da place, no matta how many times you kill 'em.
And da udder fink--you'se gots to git all of da planets at da same time, see. if you leave a few planets alone, all of da orkies will start katchin rides on space hulks an croosers an fings, and pretty soon some of da planets dat you krumpt will be filled with orkes again.
Der is just no way around it. Dem spores dat da orkies make when dey die makes it so it's aktually BETTA to not kill 'em, see.
Dem dam deemons kan sorta do da same fing, as kan da bugz, so i'se gotta be fare and give dem some kredit for tryin'. But I still fink da orkies can breeds da fastest...da deemons might be able to do it fasta, but dey don't seem ta, so i don' know. Maybe dey is jus' waitin' for a good time or somefin.
Da bugzes is just too slow at breedin', and so are you humies and da tau. I fink dem dam eldar only gets it on every kupla' years or so, and so little baby eldars is rarer den adamantium teef. dat's no good, not in da breedin game.
In konklusion, da orkies sporez and kwik breedin cykle makes dem da stretegik winnas of all da marbles. Do da maf. Da breedin rate dominates da ekwasion and goes ta infinity if ya jus' give it some time,

If the Tyranids wipe out everyone the Necrons cant just wait underground. The Tyranids eat the entire planet and everything in it that gives life. Even if they cant eat Necrons themselves they would destroy everything else leaving the Necrons with nothing in the universe, but themselves. A Tyranid victory is ONLY a Tyranid victory. I could be totally wrong, but thats just my thoughts on the matter.
As it stands and from what we do know for sure the safe bet for the ultimate winners would be the Orks. They are only getting bigger and meaner and if they are united they would run over everyone and everything. The fact that their leader has literal plot armor does not help anyone elses chances.
However the Tyranids are the biggest X factor. We just dont know how many more of them there are.
With all that said however I am going to put my money on the Ultramarines.

Orks will win, they've already spread out if the known universe so there's likely untold trillions. Given their numbers, simplicity and durability there's really no chance they could lose in a war of attrition. Likely it'll come to nids and orks in the end. Likely the mods will pass through and move onto the next while the similar ork plague spreads as well.

The Tau win, as the greater good takes away from the imperium and the Chaos gods. If the Tau don't win, then the AI army that they created and destroyed them will win.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
