The "LPRO User's Guide & Integration Guidelines" includes phase noise
data for 4 different sine to square converters in Section 3.4.

I used a similar circuit, but to improve performance at 2.5 MHz and 5
MHz, I used 1000 pf for the input capacitor. As expected, performance
improves with higher frequencies and input levels.

Moin,
The last couple of days, I have been looking into sine to square
wave converters. There are a few proposed circuits[1-4] and there
is of course Collins' paper [5]. But I am unable to find actual
performance data of the different circuits. Does someone have
such data and would share it with me/us?

Moin,
Thanks everyone for the data!

I find it interesting that a simple 74AC04 performs so well (given enough
input power) compared to even an LT1016.
