Reducing 100 triangles to quads is the removal of only 50 edges. That doesn't seem too painful to have complete control over how the quads are picked. If the triangles are very regular quadrangulate should work fine, but if they are irregular with extreme angles, I'd opt to do it by eye. Barring that have you tried Poly reduction with Quad preservation options? You can reduce on selected facets instead of the entire mesh.

Thinking I can do it pretty quickly by hand but was just curious. Thanks. Kris
