A rebuilt tranny is only as good as the person rebuilding it. That said, I'd expect a Marlin box to be excellent. A PepBoys special would worry me.
Thats what I thought, I wouldn't touch Peb Boys or Auto Zone with a ten foot pole for this.

Have you broached the notion of rebuilding your gearbox with your girlfriends father? I've not done a Toyota gearbox, but I've done a number of others. It's not that hard. Most likely you've got a dying bearing, and those are cheap. Go to a bearing store and you can buy them for about $20. You can probably do the whole job over a long weekend.
Yeah, Her dad said we should do that while we were dealing with it. Thats something else I don't know much about.

Personally if it were my first time I would just pay for a rebuilt and do the install myself.
Thats what I planned to do. I don't even want to try replace gears and such. I just want a rebuilt trany to be sent to me so I can install it. Thats what Marlin does right?

Thanks guys for all the info, keep it coming!
