Let me try to summarize it per my understanding.

Taqleed (In Istilahi sense) = Accepting the opinion of a person in religious affairs without demanding for the Daleel. The Salafis oppose such type of Taqleed and this type of Taqleed has not been prevalant among the Hanabila as well. However , should a lay person do Taqleed or not is a controversial issue among the Salafis as well. The Dhahiri inclined Salafis like Imam Shawkani ra etc deemed it forbidden for a lay person to do Taqleed as well. Their opinion is that everyone should investigate the fiqhi issues and once he gets the Daleel for a specific fiqhi ruling then it is itibaa' not Taqleed. Then the Hanbali inclined Salafis like Shaykh Uthaymeen rahimahullah deemed it necessary for a lay person to do Taqleed.
It is noteworthy that the Taqleed issue basically originated from the indian subcontinent where a few individuals went to extremes in rejecting Taqleed as a whole in opposition to the Jamid Taqleed of the Hanafis there. My opinion is that a layperson has to do Taqleed and if we expand the meanings of Taqleed , we all are Muqalids at time and Ghair Muqalids at times. It should also be kept in mind that the Subcontinental Salafis don't call themselves Ghair Muqalids. They say that they are "Muhaqiqs" opposed to "Muqalids".
