The heavy would be Palpatine because he's essentially the main reason why the sequel trilogy is a thing. He created Snoke and used him to control the First Order and manipulate Kylo Ren into the dark side of the Force.

The big bad is something that depends on how you view these stories being told. If you view the trilogies in general as separate arcs, then Palpatine would be the big bad because he's pretty much the most reoccuring villain at this point. But if you're specfically referring to the sequel movies, then that would be Kylo Ren and Palpatine would just be the bigger bad as usual.
