A single or dual supply CMOS output comparator should suffice together with some diode clamps.
Since the TICC only resolves a few tens of picosec the choice of comparator etc isnt critical.
LTC6752 (~$US2) or similar perhaps?
A single supply comparator should suffice unless you want to measure NECL or similar signals.
