Personally, I'd like to see the final Wheel of Time novel completed by another author or authors. But in their own style, not Jordan's. When someone tries to write in someone else's style, it usually feels like imitation or parody. That's why I reckon it'd be best for the WoT conclusion to be a truly collaborative effort, with the reader told who's written the final text of each chapter. That'd be fitting, I think.
From what I know RJ had already compiled all of the notes necessary to complete the book, and the intention was for his widow, Harriet, to finish it off. We can only speculate how much work he had already done. From what I've read in interviews at the very least he's had the ending wrote for almost two decades now, so even if parts don't do the series justice, at least the conclusion will be entirely RJ's work.
