I have fitted 20-30-40-50-60-70mm lift to Prados, it all depends what you want from the vehicle & suspension.
I think that 25-30mm works really well on a Prado. It still allows ample down travel. It help keep centre of gravity down - safety.
It's keeps the vehicle very capable offroad. It also helps keep the strut in the ideal operating range. It's not all about being high, you might clear more objects, but you are not as flexible up high.
Dobinsons have a huge range of front coils, same spring rate, but in different lengths. Kings have a few but the rate changes too = firmer ride.
When my clients are interested in Ome, I tell them I think it's one of the best suspensions, because of the shocks in particular, it's no secret Arb/Ome is made by Monroe, I use those, they are cheaper. If you think the biggest o.e & aftermarket suspension manufacturer doesn't make their own "Monroe 4x4" as good or better than what they make for Ome, your still dreaming.
I hope that info helps you in your suspension decisions.
