I didn't notice anyone answering this, so I'll try.
For my '88 4Runner I used to only buy OEM pads... and Toyota offered a type of anti squeak kit to go with them. It might have been listed as a shim kit... I don't recall for sure, thats just what name comes to mind. Looked just like the thin metal pads in your photo. I always bought the optional kit, and never had brake squeaking problems.
