When my Prius car is serviced at Toyota dealer it is 0w-16 Toyota oil….. whatever that is.     
Because the wife’s Auris hybrid is now 11+ years old and outside of Toyota uk Relax warranty I have it serviced by independent garage and started to supply Petronas 0w-20 oil and Toyota engine oil filter.

I'd be more concerned with the specification and correct frequency of oil change than the actual brand.

Been using only  Petronas 0w20 since 2016 and traveled over 150k miles in all temperatures from negative to +40C° no problems at all and the engine sounds good. Supplied my dad with the same brand and he says it’s ok., he uses 5w40 for his car. Price is also good here in UK, the oil itself I believe it’s made in Italy. Other good brands are Mobile 1, Total, Elf, Motul, Castrol, Millers. More important is to have the right oil as specified for your engine and frequent changes. 👍

I currently use Petronas Syntium 7000 0w20 fully synthetic oil for my Avensis Valvematic 1.8, for the last few oil changes. I did use Triple QX 0w20 Synplus, but the price went up more than the Petronas version, plus availability.
Out of interest, I did a Google search of 0w20 oil (5 litre) and Pipercross has my oil at a competitive price. I then checked Opie Oils and they were in the middle of the price range for the grade of oil I wanted (0w20). Strangely when I entered my reg' details, Opie got the car and engine correct showing an image of my car, but the results were for 5w30! This is the problem with some of the industry. 
The same Google search also got this at Smith & Allan Lubricants £23.99 from Amazonhttps://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjj28XKoYH2AhWB0-0KHRWfAKsYABAhGgJkZw&ae=2&sig=AOD64_0-PyzHXYX8piF6kSEJgGXA7wNMcQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjFxL3KoYH2AhUzQ0EAHVooBwcQ9aACegUIARC9Ag&adurl=

I have never heard of Smith & Allan Lubricants, so not really sure about using their oil, but they seem to have good ratings.

Petrolina was well thought of on Cyprus and is available in Greece I believe

If it meets the standards mentioned in the handbook then it's good. Toyota usually specify an API or ACEA rating, it needs to meet this and the viscosity.

Most important is to change it regularly and never leave it in longer than recommend, no matter how expensive it was.

For your car, Toyota specifies API SL, SM, or SN - 0W-30 or 5W-30 meeting C2. They don't specify either semi or fully synthetic or brand.

So as regards brand, whatever meets the above, and is within your budget.
