The timing of nutrients isn't all the important. I tend to just eat dinner after and don't put too much into protein shakes as I much rather have food. But if you really want a protein shake, it's going to be about personal taste. I like muscle milk, dymatize, EAS, Designer, Quest, etc.. If you can, pick up a few samples to figure out what fits your taste.0

Just so I understand correctly, You're trying to gain 14 lbs in 3 months?

Calculate your TDEE - this is the amount of calories you need to consume to maintain weight. Eat a surplus of 500 of that amount daily for 1lb a week weight gain. Don't go over 500 calories because then it will just be stored as fat (there is only a certain amount of muscle one can build, rest of the nutrients gets stored by the body).
Basically, just lift weights with a good program and eat TDEE+500 calories daily. You can gain 12 lbs in 3 months doing this method. Gain weight too fast = too much fat, so beware.
Edit: regarding protein, just make sure you consume 0.8g per lean body mass (i.e. I am 170lbs at 15% bodyfat = 145lbs of lean body mass. 145 x 0.8 = 116g of protein a day minimum. When you cut you can aim for more protein but on a bulk you can get by with this amount.1 -
