I don't think Miller would know a Schottky diode if it bit him on the behind.
Stick to the Schottky diode. Schottky diodes are fast, and are every bit as soft as the HexFred (better really). The value in HexFreds comes in at higher voltages where you can't get Schottky diodes, but if you don't mind the cost, even that is not true any more as you can get SiC high voltage Schottky diodes.
