I very much agree with qriffin's assessment. I'll add a few of my thoughts. I own a steel 155 Kalita and a ceramic 01 Hario.
Visually, I love the steel of the Kalita, and you don't have to worry about dropping it. Heat-wise I think the ceramic v60 is a bit better for brewing but that's a minor issue.
Both the V60 and the Kalita have various filter types floating around that people have stong preferences for/against.
Kalita filters are a bit more expensive and seem to be more...sketchy(?) to get online. Apparently there are batches of white filters out there that instantly lose their shape on contact with water, which is problematic because the filter shape is a big part of what makes Kalita brewing neat and different. Kalita browns are known for being very sturdy but tasting rather papery to down right awful. Personally I use these white filters and haven't experienced any bad ones that lose their shape, but as you can see the reviews are mixed.
Personally, I like the Kalita a tad more. I think it requires less finesse for consistent results and has a more interesting body than V60.
I see white 155 filters costing $7.50 from Amazon. They are eligible for Prime shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Kalita-Series-Filter-persons-sheets/dp/B00BJBOIKM
...unless you're not in the US?
But also, cone filters are not going to work. You really need flat bottom filters. And unfortunately, the ones Tiamo sells are really crappy, and I would strongly advise against them. You're basically stuck buying Kalita's.
If filter price and availability are going to be an issue for you, I'd suggest switching to a V60 or an aeropress. The filters are cheaper and easier to find.
These were the ones I bought: https://smile.amazon.com/Kalita-Filter-persons-White-sheets/dp/B00BJBOIKM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492548378&sr=8-1&keywords=kalita+155+filters

Go with the bleached ones. Brown filters noticeably contribute a paper taste no matter how much you rinse them. If you are worried about white filters being "bleached", know that they don't use hypochlorites (Clorox), they use hydrogen peroxide...its bleached via exposure to oxygen essentially. The peroxide does its job and then turns into water vapor and oxygen gas.
