Do you think any of the tests in the TestU01 suite are actually
counter-indicated?  As long as you don't think any TestU01 test
makes things worse, there is no reason not to use all of them.
You are always free to disregard tests you don't care about.

As long as the same mapping is applied to all 64-bit PRNGs under
consideration I don't see a problem.  The point of the test is to
compare PRNGs, not to compare test methods.  If someone thinks a
different set of tests is called for they are free to run them.

You and she are talking about different things.  You are talking
about choosing a PRNG to be used only by yourself.  She is talking
about choosing a PRNG to be made available to other people without
knowing who they are or what their needs are.  In the second case
it's reasonable to raise the bar for the set of criteria that need
to be met.

After looking at one of the example PCG generators, I would
describe it as a medium-quality PRNG that feeds a low-quality
hash.  The particular combination I looked at produced good
results, but it isn't clear which combinations of PRNG and
hash would do likewise.

I think the point of her paper where she talks about determining
how much internal state is needed is to measure the efficacy of
the PRNG, not to try to reduce the amount of state needed.  Based
on my own experience with various PRNGs I think it's a mistake to
try to minimize the amount of internal state needed.  My own rule
of thumb is to allow at least a factor of four:  for example, a
PRNG with a 32-bit output should have at least 128 bits of state.
My latest favorite has 256 bits of state to produce 32-bit
outputs (and so might also do well to produce 64-bit outputs, but
I haven't tested that).
