From what I know, whey is by far more popular. From what I've gathered, some have said Whey is much better than soy, and others say they're equally good.
I recommend buying some whey powder on Amazon or a nutritional site and making a shake with skim/1% milk or water whenever you could use a boost of protein and you don't have convenient access to high protein foods (and right after working out).

whey, or a whey blend that uses egg albumen or casein.
and there's multiple types of whey...whey isolates, microfiltered whey prtoein, whey concentrate, hydrolyzed whey peptides...
as you're in the US, I would start with a commercial brand like Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey. it tastes good and is a quality product.
soy isn't as biologically available as whey, and lots of people experience bloating with soy, especially men.
I'm not real fond of soy as a protein source in general. i don't run from foods with soy it them, but i don't seek them out either.

do you mean soy?
doesnt soy promote the making of estrogen or something which can lower your testoserone levels? if i eat like 18g soy a day will it really affect test. levels?
