Are 嫌な and 嫌い always interchangeable, for examples in the following sentences?

私は、毎朝鏡を見るのが嫌です。
金を借りるのも貸すのも嫌だ。
彼は校長が嫌いだ。
トマトが大嫌い。
 
I believe that きらい and いや are grammatically interchangeable for all your sentences, yes.

Except, of course, that there is no word だいいや, of course, so in that case いや would have to replace the whole word 大嫌い.
 
Thanks!
How to determine which to say when 嫌 is at the end of the sentence like the first two examples I gave いや or きらい?

きらい is always spelled with an い, so 嫌い is always きらい. A standalone 嫌 or an 嫌 followed directly by any form of the copula is always いや.
