When an anti-electron and an anti-quark meet do they annihilate or does it have to be same particle type to annihilate for example an anti-electron and an electron?

I meant when anti-electron and a common quark meet do they annihilate or does it have have to be same particle type to annihilate for example an anti-electron and a common electron?

Yes.

Conservation of charge, baryonic number and leptonic number insist that it be so.

There are no quarks with charge +1, lepton number -1, and baryon number 0.
