The real question is:
Do you want to support manufacturing in the USA and are you willing to pay
for that?
If so, the Paul's, Bruce Gordon's and others are fabulous.
If not, the Tektros are a fraction of the cost and work as well if not
better.

Two of my three bikes have V brakes (including the Sam Hillborne).
For stopping power, they work really well. Am using the Dia Compe
