My aim was to visit at least 100 countries, and with Brazil, I finally did it. I'm now loitering at 104. Or is it 105, I lose count...

Maybe for that money I can have a taxi for myself the whole day... I would be very grateful if you could give me a piece of advise.
You should have no problem by yourself, Brunei was a safe country. As for the tour, with 12 hours, I think you have ample time to hire a taxi to take you around the places and stay with you for the duration. Like you said, it will be cheaper than an organised tour. The main sights in BSB are as described in my blog, but if you had a few extra hours, then a boat trip would be a good choice. Hope this helps.
