What is the best protein shake out there?

Right people, I've never been one for milkshakes, soups and half fat diet chocolate bars, but I'm at a point now in my diet where I am genuinely sticking to it, seeing results and not feeling hungry anymore. A lot of people seem to replace one meal a day with shakes or some kind of protein powder.

Now, say I was going to replace a meal with a shake, which would be the best meal to skip? Also, how EXACTLY do they work? I'm aware they're there to replace a meal, but what are the calories like? What benefits do they offer, other than being a food replacement meal?

I live in the UK, so there is probably a lot of supplements you know of I wouldn't be able to get, but I'm open to all suggestions!

Thanks!

    I don't know about completely replacing a meal, I use them as a snack. Usually because I have a hard time meeting my protein goals. I've only used two kinds so far, BSN Syntha 6, which mixed up easily and tasted ok, and Pure Protein Frosty Chocolate which doesn't mix up as easy (more calories burned using the shaker cup though!) but tastes much better than the first.
    So if you're really wanting to replace a meal, pick the one where you're most likely to have the smallest amount of calories anyway.
