HC/HCT are pretty slow. I'd carefully check the data sheet timings before substituting for AC. Yes, F/FAST requires some input current, but I wouldn't call it "high". It's higher than CMOS but might work in some cases. Again, check the data sheets. (Or try it for a low volume project.) -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
