Again, I have very limited experience, but, the calligraphy brushes I used were all round and came to a point (as in the longest hair was in the center). The bristles were soft, long and natural (horse hair, maybe?) Sizes vary, but I used one designed to write on normal sized 8.5x11 paper. The best ink is that which comes in a small brick and you add water to make a small amount of ink. I am sure the brushes I used were inexpensive...probably 10 dollars or so in Japan...
I don't know about paper, but construction paper would run I think. We uses a very thin, almost waxy paper that, again, I am sure was inexpensive, as we did about 20 or 30 attempts in one shot.
