I am reliably informed on the MR2 that std ventillated discs and carbotech pads is just about the best set-up.

IMO your EBC / Diamond Black types are brakes you see in "Max Power" / "Fast Car" mags -rather than the one's I've seen on actual track cars (MR2's anyway). With std ventillated discs you've no worries like you might with grooved / dimpled or drilled discs which tend have more of a reputation to crack or shatter under heat.

...but this question is akin to asking what's the best tyres -10 folk will give 10 options each stating they're the best option (bit like opening a can of worms). No doubt there'll be a few recommendations on here.

For me, these days I know there's one supplier I know gives me good sound impartial advice -so I go with that and pass on the info. That's why I'd suggest looking at the Carbotech's first -but I don't know what the range will be like for Celicas (should be able to get them I'd have thought -but it's near enough £200 for the full set of pads only).
