Have you heard of, or ever used Aeropress? I'm looking to level up my coffee game.

I have! It's a good brewer, and I know a few very well-known coffee shops that choose that over other brewers.

I personally like the plastic V60 as I've had more success getting the brighter notes from it versus the aeropress. But that's just me. :)

Does it worry you to use a plastic coffee maker? My fiancé is very health conscious so we currently have a glass one with a metal strainer

Nope! I'd just make sure the plastic is BPA free, and safe to use.

Plastic actually has a lower heat capacity than ceramics, therefore allowing heat to stay within the brew, making for higher extraction.

Plus, it's easy to wash, throw around, and cheap!
