Pretty sure all top cafés (and aeropress championships -- yep that's a thing) use paper filters for good reason. I think the metal ones will let too many solids through, where paper holds it back. Just make sure you give them a good hot rinse, you can press hot water through before brewing so everything's warmed too.
Most importantly though, try both and decide which you prefer.
