Doesn't matter.

Squared Pro: run same size tire all around, save money
Squared Con: rear size limited by front size

Staggered Pro: run wider wheels in the back than you can in the front
Staggered Con: spend more on tires

Depends on driving style, alignment specs, type of tires and tire pressure. No one will be able to answer that question!

Dam 8k??? That sucks well now ima look into the squared set. Which leads to my next question. Would I be able to put 19x8.5 et40 squared then drop the car an inch or two ? Would it rub on the fender when I turn or affect the suspension in anyway? Thanks you so much for the responses this has been a real difficult step to do on my car I don't know one with a Lexus.

There is no way to tell for sure, it all depends on driving style, tread compound, etc. It will definitely wear faster than squared, without rotating. I had staggered on my Mustang and wore my front outside edges real quick(less than 20k) I am personally looking to get a squared setup on the G with a lower offset in the rear to have the wheels be flush with the fenders.
