I use the .inp format of Abaqus, since my code relies on material-IDs which (in my limited experience) are easy to handle with .inp format. I generate meshes using both GMSH (here as you mentioned, one needs to be careful to add curves/surface parts in the correct order to avoid negative volumes) and Abaqus CAE (works fine for relatively simple geometries) to generate such meshes. Not aware of other quad/hex generating open source codes. The dealii::GridGenerator namespace also offers possibilities to generate meshes for certain primitive shapes and combinations thereof.
