Yeah, for one OCXO disciplining another, I'd just use a 74F90 and 74HCT4046,
like that quick-and-dirty design did. The loop gain will be low and the
integration period will be measured in seconds or even minutes, so I don't
believe noise is going to be worth worrying about. It would be hard to
screw up too badly in this scenario.
As far as modern chips go, the ADF4002 is a new favorite of mine. It's
capable of very high performance at N and R ratios down to 1... but it will
require a microcontroller. You also need to be comfortable doing your own
loop design for it. (I am suspicious that ADIsimPLL has a bug that gives
misleading results with small KVco values, but am not entirely sure about
that yet.)
