I like to order from the Protein Factory, a little spendy, but it gets the job done. Deffinantly the type of protein plays a bigger factor than quantity.

different kinds of protein play different roles in your diet..
casein protein is great for a pre bed shake (slow absorbing), whey is best post workout because it is quickly digested.
there are also grades of protein...I like Isopure for whey and I usually take muscle milk prior to going to bed (blend of whey and casein).
but remember, the best protein is the protein you get from actual food!

Good point about the different types and different purposes. I advocate getting all protein from whole food sources except post workout. I've tried a ton of proteins and had mixed results from all of them.
Of all the proteins I have used, the best results I have obtained from a 'powder product' are from Oryx Goat Whey, by Vyotech. It's more bioavailable than bovine sources and I have felt and seen noticable differences using it over other whey proteins.

I personally try to get as much protein as possible from whole foods, even post workout, but it can be difficult to always have whole food protein. I prefer blends over straight types of protein and feel it is important to find a good quality protein. There are many good choices out there. My favorite protein is Ultra Peptide.
