I'd leave the rotors alone.
I'd get the premium line of pads from a Toyota Dealer. The dealers where I live have 2 different Toyota lines. One to compete with the non-OEM pads and then they have theirs.
Make sure you specify you don't want their cheaper pads.
Get the premium pad number and call around. You may be very surprised. Worst case, make sure your on line seller is a Toyota dealer.

Anyway, I would stick with Toyota rotors.
What do you prioritize from pads? OEM performance - stopping, dust, etc.? Akebono would have been a potential supplier & provide very similar pad performance to OEM. Let price determine between Akebono & OEM.
Note that you can get Toyota parts from online dealerships and save ~ 30%. Apologies if you already knew that & have that factored into your pricing.
The rotors looks good to me but I read it's good idea to replace them. I'm on the fence if I should replace the rotors.
The factory pads are quiet, almost no dust, last long time, and work fine for my driving.
Yes, the cost is from a Toyota dealer on ebay. My local dealer wanted $100 for the pads and $30 for the shim kit. Pads with shim kit is $70 online
Make sure the pads are not the 04465-AZXXX pads. Those are the TCMC Premium pads which are different than the factory originals.
