The numbers seem to favor M1 but only by a minuscule amount.
Every car is different in the way it's been worn over the years. We all drive on different roads with different qualities of air and on different weather. Try them both out and if you insist on being "scientific" then submit some UOAs.
What I do know about these brands are that PP seems to be pretty good at cleaning up any junk in your engine while M1 has been tested to excel at extended OCIs.
Right now, you can get a jug of M1 for $1 cheaper than PP at Walmart. This price difference can very well change later so why not go with the M1 right now before it gets the same price increase that PP got?
Why not go with the latest 0W-20 formulation that makes all other 20wts looking obsolete and you can get it at you local Toyota or Lexus dealer. That's the US made Toyota Brand 0W-20.

There's a recent VOA on this oil in that section if you want to check it further.
