NGKs would be my choice. It's affordable and does its job very well.

As for the vibrations, you'd have to tell us when you feel the vibrations and from where ;P

I would go with NGK's or Denso. My rolla (98) had Bosch when I bought it used. I noticed on hard acceleration it would bog down and falter. I never thought plugs would cause that but I spoke with a Toyota mechanic through a mutual friend. The first thing he asked was what kind of plugs are in there? When I said Bosch, he said get NGK's and live happily ever after. . . and I did! It fixed the problem.

I would say tires, get them balanced and rotated if possible.

NGK or OEM thats what the owners manual recommends. I have NGK and they seem to do their job

Denso Platinums are recommended for the plugs.
and if the car vibrates in the pedal and steering wheel at low rpms when in gear (drive, reverse, lows ) then its probably one of your mounts. tranny mount too.
wrong tires for your wheels would cause a noise and vibrations at higher speeds.
check the tread wear. they tell all.

Are there any differences between Denso and Toyota OEM?

Yeah, but are retail Densos exactly the same as the ones Denso makes for Toyota?
