<upd_detl>The JEs write 「たぐいまれ」 rather than 「類まれ」, so in this case I don't think they are reliable indicators of usage frequency.
I imagine they were just as perplexed by the るい／たぐい distinction as we are and decided to stick with kana usage as a compromise.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>The speakers in 3 out of 3 videos on YouGlish with the phrase "いう類の" in the subtitles pronounce it as たぐい.
So 15/16 of the videos I've checked have been たぐい rather than るい.

I think 類 is mostly understood to be たぐい when written alone and るい when included in a compound.
See this question from hinative:
https://ja.hinative.com/questions/15413548
類（るい）は、だいたい他の言葉とくっついた場合に、類（るい）と読みます。
類、単独で使われた場合は、類（たぐい）と読まれることが多いです。
日本人でも、「るい」か「たぐい」か迷うこともあります。まぎらわしいですね</upd_refs>

<upd_refs>Lots of questions about this on chiebukuro as well.
https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q12189583437
Apparently たぐ.い was added to the 常用 list in 2010. Before that, 類 only had one reading on the list (音: るい).
This chiebukoro user saw 類い written in a recently-published novel written by a famous author. Then after using 類い at work, they were told by a work colleague that 類い is incorrect because it's written as 類 in kojien.
The impression that I get is that 類 is the most commonly used form, but the government is trying to promote 類い in official writing due to the ambiguity with るい. It seems this style hasn't yet entirely caught on, however.</upd_refs>
