Not all proteins are equal just as not all steroids are equal. Just a thought.

I see a lot of people combining casein and whey. Why not just purchase milk isolate, which is cheaper than both, and add some extra whey if you want a higher percentage?

Milk Isolate is another excellent protein,which combines the two sources.

I've been using Optimum's New formula whey protein. How good is this stuff?

Exactly, I've been wondering why no one ever mentions this.

I honestly haven't noticed a lot of difference between isolate and concentrate. Like Judo Tom, I do tend to take in more concentrate in a single serving as opposed to when I am using isolate...

Just get a protein combination that has micellar Casein(long release), whey(short release) and egg(medium release).

That way you get sustained levels of amino acids for a longer period of time in your blood-stream.(Decreasing catabolism)

Slyder190 had a very good point. Whey concentrate still has a higher bioavailibility than whole foods, even if it is inferior to isolate. With concentrate being so much cheaper it's my powder of choice, mixed with calcium caseinate in a 50/50 blend.

The only time I would take overpriced isolates is post workout and even then the difference probably isn't big compared to concentrate.

Protein Pulse Feeding

Fonz, doesn't the body only really respond to protein pulse feeding? i.e. A "spike" of protein every 3 or so hours... If I remember right, doesn't the utilization curve taper off drastically after 3 hours with constant levels of protein? (So it's better to use a protein that utilzed within 3 or so hours of ingestion versus longer-acting proteins...)
