My take is that time-of-flight for measurements over 5m is more accurate than triangulation. Is that correct? How do we interpret accuracy specs such as 50-5000 <= +/-60? Does that mean +/- 60mm at distances from 50 to 5000 meters?
Any suggestions for a 360 degree 2d lidar data acquisition device that has decent accuracy for building measurements? I am used to +/- 5mm for my total station.

Note that a rotating lidar has both angular accuracy as well as linear (distance to object) accuracy. The farther away the object, the lower the accuracy of the reading. The accuracy is often provided as a percentage, but that depends on how the manufacturer wants to present the data.
