What brake pads if not OEM or TBU?

2002 SR5 4wd 255K 15" wheels.

I now have 90K on the last set of d&s rotors and pads that were an ebay 'upgrade' kit my mechanic suggested. They were very OK but nothing extra strong. Now my oil change guy said brakes have about one more oil change left before need brakes. Presume the D&S rotors need replacing too, but TBD.

I'd like to have stronger than OEM braking (just my driving style and I tow 1,500lbs aprox once a month) for those few times when needed.

My former 2G 4R had what the mechanic called 'progressive' brakes... they really got stronger with duration and pressure, but otherwise were normal good brakes. Anything like that available?

I but I'm chickening out on the TBU solution (Prefer KISS, touch it just once solutions.)

I have seen the combo of Brembo & Akebono recommended here more than once... go with that? Go back and be happy with OEM? Go with Sport or Truck & Tow brakes?
