I suggest you go with a brand new OEM replacement.. an aftermarket one will genuinely fail much earlier.. the original lasted you this long.. but once cry once
Pros: original lasted long
Cons: aftermarket fails earlier

It seems to work pretty well, AC/heat keep blowing with the engine off in well designed systems. Starter is often much better than conventional starters, bringing engine to higher RPM at start which reduces the normal issues with constant start-stop.
Pros: AC/heat keep blowing
Cons: poor implementation
Toyota 2UZ is in the same spot, and the original starter in those can last well past 250k miles when they're not being roasted by the exhaust and drenched in water regularly.
Pros: starter lasts long
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 402336 km
Starter at ~180k miles and steering rack at ~300k, never left me stranded.
Pros: never left me stranded
Vehicle:
Toyota Land Cruiser
Mileage: 180000 km
Appears to be OEM as it has Toyota branding on it. I tried tapping it with a hammer while my daughter turned the key but it didn't ever turn the engine again.

I have an 01 sequoia, so same engine and had to do mine at around 250k. It was starting on its way out, slower cranking, occasionally it just wouldn't crank, just typical issues of one needing replaced.
Pros: Slower cranking
Cons: wouldn't crank
Vehicle:
Toyota Sequoia
Mileage: 250000 km
I have two Tundras with 2UZs and a 4Runner with a 3UZ swap... None of them have ever needed a starter replacement... I could probably do that job in 45 minutes, which is better than owning any American vehicle.
Pros: job can be done quickly
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
This is exactly what happened to my 2004 corolla. Working all fine fresh battery alternator everything works had no issues. Next morning went to start it, nothing. I was thinking maybe electrical issue or fuse? All fuses and relays were good. Last resort I though could it be the starter? I’ve heard you can tap a starter with a hammer or wrench and if it attempts to start or actually starts, the starter gear is starting to wear out or issues with the starter solenoid. In my case, the starter teeth were all chewed up and it was crusty inside. Original starter after 168k miles. Fixed the problem. Been good ever since.
Pros: fixed the problem
Cons: starter teeth chewed up
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 168000 km
Lotsa fuss over a starter that can last 150k especially an oem one. and although the manifold is heavy comes off super quick. easily a triple time job or more if you're flat rate
Pros: starter can last 150k
Cons: manifold is heavy
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 241401 km
