I realize you are almost certainly just repeating the names you saw the seller use, but ... FYI, for future reference, remember that LIDARs often are IR sensors (sensors that use IR light)).
To answer your question properly, respondents are going to need more information about your target(s), your accuracy, precision and speed requirements, your plan for discriminating among multiple potential targets, the value of your time, the capabilities of your vehicle, the cost of of using machinery to augment the raw sensors, your skills and abilities, your wealth, etc.
With that said, I hope you can get useful information from folks familiar with each sensor.
