I wonder how Quad Remesher compares to the recently integrated quad remesh?

Best thing to do is installing it. There’s a free trial period. In general, Quad Remesher results in much better topology with strategically placed edge loops.

But it seems Quad Remesher produces the problematic spiral edges, that were also present in the first versions of Zbrush.

Quad Remesher = ZRemesher 3.0 (the latest ZRemesher in ZBrush 2019+), but yes, there are still occasional edge loop spirals. Even if there is some edge loop spiraling, the subdivided result still looks great. And you can influence the edge loops by assigning smooth groups or materials to parts of your model. Read the FAQ and tips in the Quad Remesher thread at Blender Artists.

Would be great to have the ability to paint guidelines with the grease pencil like in Zbrush’s remesher.

It’s planned for an update. To my experience though, using the ZRemesher Guides brush in ZBrush often complicates the solution, forcing the algorithm to twist and turn the topology to match your guides, resulting in problem areas elsewhere.
