SQ in release 15.2 can simulate HSpice models using HSpice as an integrated simulation engine. You get all the benefits of using the SQ GUI/use model as well as your HSpice models. Of course this assumes you have a valid HSpice license. Just to set the record straight, SQ can simulate IBIS models and its own DML macromodels using its embedded simulation engine. In the latest 15.5 release SQ was enhanced through the inclusion of a Spectre simulation engine (UNIX & LINUX only) allowing you to consume Spectre spice IO models.

If so which type of models it can accept (Hspice, Hspice net list, etc.)?
