You have been given lots of options and all will work fine. It just depends on what kind of money you want to spend AND what your needs in this other building are.
I have done this very thing for many years in multiple aggregate quarries covering 5 states. I have used bridges, directional & omni antennas, cat5, fiber, you name it I used it. I have used simple inexpensive directional antennas to beam a wifi signal 1000' into a metal building to network a computer and TV. I have ran cat5 to network cameras 600-700' out from a plant control room with no issues, I have ran fiber optic 3500' down into a mine. Remember, that the 330' max distance on cat5 cable is just for it to run at PEAK performance, it doesn't mean you can't go past 330'.
So decide what your use in this other building is and if you need a top performing network running speeds 1GB or more, next decide how much ya want to spend to achieve your goal.
