The scitech has 8g carbs per 100g? I would go for one of the other 2.

I use now foods isolate. Cheapest that I could find, and comes unflavored, which is pretty low on carbs.

I like True Nutrition's. (http://www.truenutrition.com/p-947-whey-protein-isolate-cold-filtration-1lb.aspx)You can customize the flavoring/sweetener to your liking. There's a 5% discount for ordering over 16 lbs. and another for using a coupon code (AND028 is one).

Now Foods makes a great, natural whey isolate for about $60 for 5 lbs.  1g of carb / 25g protein, per scoop.  Used it, and it is excellent.  Have not used the other two.Try purchasing it at http://www.swansonsvitamins.com ... they tend to have tons of coupon codes avail. via Google search.  You might score 10% off your purchase, perhaps even free or discounted shipping, too.

This link was posted somewhere http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/uva9t/big_reddit_protein_powder_measurement_results/ which seems helpful.  Optimum Nutrition brand comes out on top here.

I don't know how to measure quality or results, but I really like Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard Whey (Choc Malt).

ON's Gold Standard is a whey blend.  Mostly concentrates, some isolates.ON makes an isolate, as do most brands.  Always check the ingredients, though.  Some sneaky companies will call the product a whey isolate, but the ingredient list contains concentrates, caseinates, etc.Always check the ingredients label.The only whey / protein portion of the ingredients should be whey protein isolate.  Cory

…for instance, here is the ingredient list for NOW FOODS' whey protein isolate (unflavored):Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolate (milk) (providing ß-lactoglobulin, a-lactalbumin, Immunoglobulins and Glycomacro Peptides) and Soy Lecithin (<1%). Here are the ingredients in ON's Gold Standard product (Chocolate Malt):Protein Blend(Whey Protein Isolates, Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Peptides), Cocoa(Processed With Alkali), Lecithin, Natural And Artificial Flavors, Acesulfame Potassium, Aminogen®, Sucralose, Lactase.Hope that clarifies.  Always check ingredients... companies try to get away with a lot.Cory

I cannot recommend Swanson enough!  They ship to you within 3 days, usually... sometimes slower, depends on holidays / mail traffic.They constantly have discounts ... Google coupon codes!  There is usually a 10%, and sometimes with free-shipping.That whey looks excellent!  The ingredients, the macros, etc.  It is Stevia-based, also.  Swanson is getting new products all the time, never saw this one before.  I think I might move to this one, myself.  😀Cory

+ 1 on Now foods whey Isolate, I'm using both unflavored and toffee. I am gonna check out muscle feast next:http://www.musclefeast.com/Whey-Protein-Isolate.htmlI'm using their micellar casein which is great thus far.

NOW nutrition isolate is good, another that I am using currently is Natures Best Isopure Zero Carb unflavored. Obviously as the name says it has 0g carbs whereas the now isolate has 1g. Not a big difference but for those of us who are anal about it you might consider it. The whey they use is from milk and consists of micro filtered isolates and ion exchanged isolates

There is an unflavored, all-natural Isopure, too.  Might be the best option, to escape any artificial crap or fillers.Isopure is a good product.  Full of added vitamins and minerals, too -- hence its pretty metallic after-taste.Cory

I seem to recall Naomi somewhere mentioned Kiefer liked isopure because it's easier on digestion
