Revision history [back]

Both gmapping/laser_scan_matcher and hector_slam are viable options that have been demonstrated to work well in different scenarios (see also this Q/A). It might make sense to just try both for your setup and see what works best. Depending on LIDAR type, size/characteristics of the enviroment, available computing resources and other factors you might get better results with one approach or the other.
