I have a Giessele HS Match currently and am looking for a comparable single-stage trigger with minimal creep, a 1-2 pound pull, and a reputation for quality and repeatability for a new build. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have one with the 2# spring in it and it is pretty good. It was a pain in the ass to set up but I have it breaking right around 2# with very little creep. I had it feeling great with no creep but it would double tap.JARD Inc, makes a single stage with the specs you are looking for. They make single stages ranging from trigger pulls of 1.5 to 5 lbs. I've got no experience with them but from reading your requirements this is the only one that came to my mind.
Also, Jewell used to make a an AR trigger with a 2 lb trigger pull however it was two stage. I believe they discontinued it though. Hard to stay current with Jewell products because they have no website or marketing to speak of. Strange in this day and age.
As already mentioned above - a well tuned complete JP package (hammer, trigger, disconnector, springs, pins, etc.), I say this because you can also utilize a JP trigger, disconnector, and springs with your factory hammer & pins. However, the results will not be as good as, the JP hammer produces an incredibly fast lock time and glass rod break feel.
In terms of modular drop in triggers - I love Timney's and Wilson Combat TTU's (I have both). My 2 Timney's break @ 3.0 lbs and my WC TTU breaks @ 3.5 lbs. Both feel incredible and ironically, the break on the WC TTU is so good it actually feels lighter than 3.5 lbs. I can't comment on the Chip McCormick drop in unit.
Finally, I don't have any experience with JARD triggers. However, I know & have read that you can get those set-up in the 2.0 lb range.
Keep us posted

I am currently using a hyper fire 24C. That is one light, crisp trigger!
I too recently installed a Timney 3lb. Breaks like an icicle. Don't have a trigger pull scale, but I do know it is considerably lighter than the factory. I love it and plan to install it again in my next build.
