By "Amazon rusty floors" standards, those don't look too bad, especially if the rust doesn't extend into the rockers. After showing us what looks to be a nice, and now very shiney car, it would be a shame not to do a good quality repair. Shaped and ribbed panels are more expensive but once the floor is cut out you should get good metal to weld them to. Welding time is then less and makes it easier for a welder who may not have the skills to make a good job of multiple patch panels. Cutting out small sections and making up patches that fit properly is very time consuming and time = money. It might be that putting in the moulded panels will cost less overall due to less shop time. It'll be a much nicer job when finished.
Unless you're running a car as a "beater" there's no place for the bodge repairs mentioned in another post, although the comments might have been tongue in cheek. Your car is too good for that sort of treatment.
I'm in the UK and that sort of repair wouldn't pass MOT inspection so perhaps my views are coloured.
Do it once, do it right and add future value to your car.
