They're old. equals_t was done because D1 uses (used?) int for opEquals 
instead of bool. I don't know if there was ever a good reason for hash_t to 
exist. I don't believe that TDPL uses either, and I believe that they've been 
mostly removed from druntime and Phobos (if they haven't been entirely removed 
yet, they will be, aside from the aliases themselves).

So, I would definitely recommend not using equals_t or hash_t, but while some 
of us are definitely looking to get rid of them entirely, I suspect that 
they'll be around semi-permanently just to preserve backwards compatibility.
