Hi Noel,
It's probably pretty much neck-and-neck. Toyotas are legendarily reliable and well-made and there's nothing in the history of the current Avensis to suggest that it's anything other than that. Likewise, the Octavia; Skodas tend to do extremely well in owner satisfaction surveys and while part of that can be put down to the switched-on customer service nature of the brand's dealers, there's no doubt that Skoda's Czech factory turns out some beautifully made products. Nothing between them, really.
