In general, the Toyota hybrids just don't have battery issues at all (there are rare exceptions). Hondas have many more issues as well as issues with their CVT transmission. Not that they're bad, but the Toyotas hold up better. I personally wouldn't even worry about buying a used Toyota hybrid at all.
There are a couple companies out there that will rebuild/refurbish your pack weather it be a Honda or Toyota hybrid. I can't think of them off hand, but there are a couple and the prices are pretty reasonable IMO (~$1k depending on the vehicle).
