Whey protein isolate may be slightly more pure (less fat, lactose, etc.). A good value brand for this is Isopure, if you don't mind the multi-vitamin/mineral powder they add.
The only difference between whey powder and, say, milk protein is that whey is digested more quickly, which is good for post-workout.
Hoydrolyzed whey is absorbed much more quickly than just whey and would be good for post-workout. Other than post-workout, you probably don't even want a quickly digesting protein. Food is probably best. Even for post-workout, hydrolyzed whey is not very necessary --- just eat a slowly digesting protein before working out and your blood will be fully of aminos at the end of your workout anyway.
I like whey protein isolate for post-workout. Low lactose, low fat, doesn't taste like yak and it does the job. I eat slowly digesting protein sources all day, so hydrolyzed whey would probably do nothing for me.
As far as Methoxy-Pro or any other protein powder goes, they are just protein. Most of the other things I know of that they add are gimmicks (methoxyisoflavones, etc.). If you want something to help you grow, use creatine (which you do, if I am not mistaken). You could make a good post-workout drink by mixing dextrose and/or maltodextrin, whey protein isolate and creatine.

Basically, the only important things are food, sleep and training. Food is usually better than MRPs because of many factors (digestion, absorption of nutrients, phytochemicals, fiber, thermic effect of food, etc.). MRPs are ok when you don't have time to cook food. Generally, no MRP is significantly better than another. Just buy the best value. Maybe find one with a protein other than whey, since whey digests too quickly for a normal meal.witkowsd said:
