I suspect that DC balance might well be important to a phase detector.

Hi

The obvious question is weather you need a real good mixer to make a low
noise phase detector. 

Sorting the diodes as you did resulted in a mixer that performed at a
specific level. Better matching would have made it have more isolation as a
mixer, it might have helped the conversion loss by a fraction of a db. Would
it have also done something good for the phase detector characteristics?

If the answer is "not really", then one could pick diodes for low 1/f noise
and do a simple match up on them. You might get some pretty good phase
detectors real cheap.
