Both Artec scanners and LMI's HDI series scanners are more than good enough for scanning materials for morphometrics. I have used both on several projects, and know lots of groups with either that are happy with their choice. As Dennis says, the LMI series works very well with a turntable. You can also use a turntable for Artecs-I believe Marcus Bastir has had some success with this. Blue light scanners, you are not going to manage colour texture unfortunately-I have used them out in Kenya with relatively harsh light conditions and they're pretty bomb proof. The texture capture for the Artecs is beautiful, but post processing takes a lot longer. Basically you pay your money and take your choice. Best, Tom O'Mahoney University of Manchester
