basically they all work the same, meaning they help to supply more protein in the meal plan. and honestly they should be used as little as possible; solid food first, powders to fill in the gaps.
personally i do a milk/egg blend to use in my homemade meal replacement shake and i do whey as part of my post workout meal. its more cost effective for me like that.
it kind of depends on how and when you intend to use it, but a blend of milk and egg or just milk (casein/whey) would probably be ideal

So no protein powder is more effective than another

brand to brand, not really.
couple of years ago nitrotech was tested and found that users had slightly more gains over others. but the reason was because they put creatine monohydrate in it, funny how muscletech never mentioned that in all their ads at the time. they said it was because of their revolutionary protein blend. :(
now milk blends have fared well in research over straight whey powders. in some instances, one could say that casein kicked wheys butt :D

i'd say a milk blend, which is casein and whey. we're beginning to see that some companies are making their flagship protein blends casein dominant so you should be able to find some over there. :)
