Definately water for me first thing in the morning and after the gym. Milk at most other times when bulking only.

I have mine in milk, I prefer the taste.

Recently I read an article on how whey is actually a bad protein, (Apart from post workout) becuase it's digested far to fast and half the protein is wasted, and apparently your best off getting a protein blend. I'll try and find it but I can't remeber how I came across it.

The problem with milk is 1 in 5 people are lactose (milk sugar) intolerant, this tends to cause wind and indigestion and hinders your body's ability to digest the protein.

It may make it taste creamy but from a muscle building point of view - milk in your whey is not wise for many.

I mix mine with half milk (skimmed) and water

Just reduces the calories a bit but tastes better than just water
