Macro Mike, hands down. The peanut flavours I think don't have probiotics. It's expensive and I hate the gimmicky marketing, but it's undeniably the best tasting brand. Nuzest is just okay. I found myself adding extra ingredients (peanut butter or fruit) to make it taste better. Bulk Nutrients Earth protein I hated, threw out half the sample pack. Their soy isolate is very good for baking though - I like to make baked oats with it.
I’m a macro Mike fan but I much prefer their almond protein over their peanut protein flavours. I find all the peanut protein flavours just taste like peanuts but the almond actually tastes like the marketed flavours. They’ve just released a pea protein which I’ve purchased but yet to try.
I can't do the dairy proteins, so I got some of the Macro Mike sample packs... I think the peanut based ones are great! The almond ones have a bitterness in not keen on.

Peanut and Chocolate MacroMike delish
Bondi Protein Co for me. $24 for 800g on special at chemist warehouse. Dissolves super easy in rice milk. Macro Mike peanut based flavours are disgusting in my opinion. The almond based ones are good. But price is far too expensive.
