Protein Powder

Anyone have any recommendations for a good protein powder?? I'm shopping around and wanted to see what other crossfitters are drinking - I'm hoping for at least 20g protein per scoop... low cal and limited artificial sweeteners is a bonus.
Ive tried and liked Isopure Zero Carb and Syntrax Nectars in the past but would like to broaden my protein powder horizons! I've also tried a few flavors of the Progenex Recovery, but I find it a bit too sweet.
Thanks in advance!!

I use isopure vanilla. Tastes great. Gluten, Lactose and Aspartame free! Doesn't make me feel bloated. Has 25 grams of protein in one scoop.0

I use two right now.
Progenex Recovery is my post-workout drink. Two scoops is about 25g of protein. I usually do 3 scoops (I'm a big guy and my protein target is over 250g/day.)
When I'm making a smoothy its Isopure. I use Mango-peach right now because it works well for morning smoothes. Two scoops (50g protein) a cup of berries and as much spinach or kale as fits in the Vitamix.0 -
I'm using About Time whey protein powder. It's sweetened with Stevia so some of the flavors can taste a little fake or too sweet but it's gluten free and lactose free, which is a huge plus for me. A scoop is 100 calories and 25g protein.0

I'm currently using 2 types:
Progenex Recovery (Belgian Chocolate) is my post-workout protein supplement. 2 scoops is approx 25g of protein and tastes fine w/ just water.
My 2nd protein supplement is: Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein (Double Rich Chocolate). However, with this type, 2 scoops is approx 48g of protein. *also tastes fine w/ just water.
**from time to time, I'll use vanilla almond milk (unsweetened) w/ the Gold Standard mix. It only adds 60 calories for 16oz.0 -

Is this a whey powder? I moved in to a rice/pea protein coz I'm lactose intolerant and whey shakes all made me feel yucky. I actually love my powder but I know whey is ideal... Is it really lactose free??0 -

I think all the Isopures are whey and/or casien.0 -

I had a look online last week and it looks great but not sold in Australia so just trying to work out if it's worth the shipping costs!! 0 -
You would think there is some kind of equivalent available so you would not have to pay for shipping.0
