Most people are happy just upgrading the front.
Stainless lines, drilled/slotted rotors and new pads.
The pad of choice is the Axxis Deluxe... very low dust.
You can do stainless lines in back too. The only real upgrade for the rears (other than lines) is a full disc conversion, but you're looking at at least $1k to do it right, you also lose use of the emergency brake.
You can get rotor/pad combos for a decent price. Upgrading the fronts and getting stainless lines at the 4 corners will probably run you around $350 or so, it depends on the rotors and pads you get.

I went 80,000 on the OE fronts and 230,000 on the OE rear...but I don't advise anybody to follow that schedule 
As for rears the discs are awesome but a fresh set of shoes, surfaced (or new) drums and SS lines will keep the rear in more than enough check. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=252589
