The quality of the new Sigma 3.5 is close to the Nikkor 10,5mm but your resolution will be
a little smaller.
Image circle for 8mm is 23.5mm and for 10,5mm it is 28mm
Anyhow you will need 3 shots with both. There is no chance you can do a good 2 shot
pano as there is no overlap.
Hanging it outside a building can be done in many ways depending on the place.
If it is just 50-100 cm outside you can just as well use the 15mm and get superior quality.
You will be amazed how good that will look.
Take a look at Laurent Thions panorama here for example.

As far as I remember he is using the 10,5 on a D200 or D2X, which is the same as the
15mm on the 5D.
