up to you.
> The uncertainty circle that the SMLC wants to return usually moves in TA steps of 550m. 

this is only true for the very simplistic first version of OsmoSMLC with only supporting TA based location method.  We should not assume that this will be true forever.

> From a user perspective, having a float indicating meters is more SI unit typical and has less amount of confusing digits... or maybe even use km?

I'd go for meters, as that is a base unit.
