Unsure about the Q.Score, but for large data, MeowHash appears to also be a solid choice for non-cryptographic hashing:

meow is certainly not solid. it's brand new and still being discussed.
regarding the "extremely fast" claim: it's only fast for large blocks, not for normal strings. it's the perfect hash for a file or block digest, certainly not for a hash table.
tip: Whenever someone is claiming "extremely fast", like xxhash or meow look at independent benchmarks. Nobody beats the simplest multiplicative hashes, esp. such big ones.
