Default Whey protein...

Anyone know of a good whey protein powder?

I'm using Optimum Nutrition's chocolate-flavored whey right now: Amazon.com: ON Gold Standard Dietary Supplement, 100% Natural Whey, Chocolate Flavor, 5.13-Pound Tub: Health & Personal Care

The problem with that is that one of the ingredients is fructose and that it has caffeine in it, being made from cocoa. I don't really mind the fructose so much since it's at about the same concentration as in a fruit. The caffeine is a pretty big problem though. Cocoa wasn't on Amazon's list of ingredients at that link but it's written on the jar..!

Here's what I'm looking for:
-At least 70% protein.
-Less than $8 per pound preferably.
-No crap: artificial sweeteners, caffeine, ect. Stevia is OK.
-If there's an unflavored whey protein for sale somewhere, I'd like to see it.
-You should preferably own the product or have seen it somewhere.

You could recommend an egg powder or some other type of protein powder too, I guess. I'd rather stay away from soy and it should probably be an animal protein.

In addition to whey, I'm also eating this rice protein: Amazon.com: Nutribiotic - Rice Protein, 21 oz powder: Health & Personal Care
Which is very good.. Nothing but rice, 80% protein.
