The TRD ones aren't adjustable though are they?
How important is adjustability?

Well thats what I thought, surely a company which is a branch of Toyota should make products that are spot on for their car...
If its the right stiffness, no adjustment is needed.

TRD 22MM front and TRD N1 25.4mm rear(not the soft 22mm bar)
it is the most enjoyable ride now... if you are in Sydney and can spare 2 hours in the next week, i will take you for a drive.

I'm in ACT, but next time I'm up that way I'll be sure to let you know and we can go for a spin. I think for my purposes I'm gonna be leaning towards grabbing same setup as you.

Adjustability lets you dial in the behaviour of the car to what suits you best. A setup I describes as neutral might feel very understeery for someone else. It all depends on what you're used to and how you drive. Having adjustables lets you fine tune how the car feels. There's no simple "correct stiffness". I had a 3 way adjustable rear sway bar on my old car and each setting made the car feel completely different. After I stiffened it up a notch I spun out on the first corner of my warm up lap because I had no idea it would make such a big difference. It was like driving a different car.
I think you should at least have one adjustable bar. Maybe have a fixed one on the front and an adjustable on the rear.

I think adjustable on the rear would be a smart idea.

So on a related note, where would be the best place to source a set of beefier endlinks for both the front and rear swaybars?
Do Whiteline make em?
And I assume there is no difference between the earlier swaybars/endlinks to the later swaybars/endlinks?

Not sure if there is a difference between the gen2 and gen3 links. But I've been told by everyone to grab some off twos r us.

Later OEM endlinks are stronger. Some early bars are 18mm and some later ones are 19mm.
