If resale is a huge component then get the blue TRDP. TRDP in heritage colors will have the best resale among 4Runners - black or white less so.
TRD Pro or Off Road Prem with $1.5k diff?

Re-stating what others have said....Pro seems harder to get discounts on, ORP less so...of course this can really vary depending on the region of the US you live in
My direct experience = I just took delivery this weekend of an ORP with KDSS, moonroof and running boards. MSRP $43.1k; purchase price $37.9k. This was in the Northeast (NH)

I was shopping a TRD Pro and actually went in to put a down payment/secure on one that was arriving later in the week.
Before I could leave, I had purchased a 2018 ORP and the dealer added the front "heritage" or TRD Pro grille and the predator steps and out the door I was at just under $39k.
Compare that at nearly $46k for the TRD Pro (and the dealer told me they most likely wouldn't budge an inch).
The whole "unique" and year specific color offerings was another turnoff for me.
I bought K02s and TRD Pro Wheels (purchased, shipped and installed) for $1300 and replaced the silver front and rear valences for $320. I sold the ORP wheels for $400.
So at the end of all things, I got a vehicle that looks exactly like a 2018 Pro, has KDSS, and a Moonroof for a net of $40,220.
The only major differences are the TRD Pro suspension and the emblems and if I were to add King's for $3200 (adjustable) I end up with a 4Runner that has a better suspension, identical looks and a moonroof for nearly $2k less.
As stated many times across numerous threads, if you're going to mod it at ALL, then go with the ORP. If you just want to drive something and have the peace of mind in leaving it completely unmodified, then go with the Pro.
Resale on any 4Runner unmolested is going to be rock solid if you take care of it. I abused my 2007 SR5 and it had 185k miles on it and I still got $9500 trade in for it. That ends up being around $.10/mile not including fuel and maintenance.
Get whatever blows your hair back more but get the ORP if you want to toy/tinker and get the Pro if you want to just enjoy and leave it alone.

As stated by literally everyone who has replied here, the ORP is always going to be your best purchase in the long especially if you plan to mod it heavily. From the sound of it though the OP plans to do very little making that aspect less of an issue. If the Pro is $45K or less then it's a great buy, if not then I'd be looking at getting a better deal on a ORP elsewhere.
Personally I think the sunroof is a joke in comparison to the panoramic roofs on most vehicles today and if you plan to do an aftermarket roof rack and/or RTT then what's the point in having one? I also don't care much for KDSS either (I'm in the minority here) as I've seen personal friends and family members have issues with theirs on their Land Cruisers. We bought a Pro because the misses has always wanted one and keeping momma happy is worth the few extra thousand dollars that I would have spent elsewhere. I'm also not mad about having a more rare trim package/edition and the better resale value down the road (should we sell and not keep it as our third vehicle).
ORP's are a dime a dozen in Texas, they have multiples on every dealer lot. Call around and get the best deal within 200 miles and make a deal happen. Should you find you like the Cavalry Blue then snag that sucker and know that you'll likely get very close to what you pay for it three years down the road.
