I thought it may be a wheel bearing at first, but the noise is quieter at higher speed, and is almost silent while braking which makes me think it has something to do with the brake pads.
looks a bit more worn at the top of the rotor

So there's a grinding noise coming from the rear left at low speeds, not sure what it is, but it sounds like metal on metal.

I told you it would need pads in the next couple of months.
MY02-MY07 sti rear pads will fit.

OEM the best way to go? Or is there a cheaper-better alternative?

Hope you havent driven too much on them like that. You wont have much rotor left otherwise. Those photos look like it should be ok with a machine, but much more and you'll need a new rotor. DONT just change the pads and be done with it.
MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.
