Prices fluctuate. Here are some brands that are commonly recommended or that I've used.
Bulk Foods Direct
Hard Rhino (isolate, concentrate)
NOW isolate (Amazon, SupplementWarehouse)
Looks like Hard Rhino just increased their prices again ._. For some reason SupplementWarehouse seems to have reduced their price... I hope I don't regret pointing this out.
Dude, $16/lb? Fuck that noise. Try $8/lb: http://www.amazon.com/100-Protein-Isolate-Natural-Unflavored/dp/B000MAK59O/ref=pd_sim_hpc_2
Here's what I'm doing right now and it's keeping my weight steady with positive muscle gains after only 3 weeks of P90X (I've got some fat and am trying to burn it without losing weight):
Syntha 6 (slower digesting protein)
Protein isolate
Creatine Ethyl Ester (no loading time for ethyl ester)
Force Factor (nitric oxide, I got myself a trial bottle)
Water
Along with my normal protein-based diet (dairy, meat, eggs, fish, beans), this takes my protein intake to 225g-300g per day. I think 300g would get you around the point of bulking up
Also, for all the weight lifting exercises, I choose a heavy enough weight to where I can't do more than 10 reps. If you're doing more than ten then get more weight. Try modifying the high-rep weight routines in the video to ones that are 8-10 reps.
By the way, I'm just a normal dude, not an expert. I'm curious to see what your results are and I might borrow your routine when I'm done with P90X because I prefer working out at home myself. Good luck!
+1 for Now protein. The guys over at /r/soylent use this stuff in their DIY Soylent and it has one of the highest percentages of protein content on the market while still being somewhat competitive in pricing. No idea if you need the other shit they put in those other powders branded at weight lifters.
I use this one
Here's the link to the 10 lb bag
Having said that, they have indeed gone up in price. Still worth the money though.
Buy this, mix with organic milk, drink. Also, drink as much OJ (for carbs) as you'd like.
My apologies, the NOW I was referring to wasn't the one I linked to. Here it is. This is almost pure protein, doesn't have a lot of the sweeteners that ON does.
edit - I guess the big thing that I want to point out is that any brand, whether it's NOW or ON has different kinds of protein available, I'd just recommend getting the one with the most pure form of protein. You can always add fruit or anything else to sweeten it if you'd like.

Maybe add a little but over extra water in the event that got cold.
Don't get me wrong, nothing turned out perfect but it was all edible.
EDIT: This was the protein powder I used.

Tastes like nothing, good caloric rate, good protein rate, and the texure is pretty damn good.
I've been ordering this stuff. I'm on my 2nd bag of it, the 10lb size takes forever to run out of.
Makes a pretty nice shake with plain milk and cocoa powder.
There is unflavored whey protein powder. I think I'm finally going to switch to unflavored when I finish all of the disappointing flavors I currently have.
I use NOW unflavored whey protein isolate. Doesn't taste that great with just water but it does the job. Plus you can mix it into just about anything without affecting the flavor too much. Best part is its around 80 bucks for 10 pounds. I like to mix it into my oatmeal or blend it with some berries and yogurt. http://www.amazon.com/Now-Foods-Protein-Isolate-10-Pound/dp/B000MAK59O
100% Whey Isolate Unflavored
ON Whey, if you go with the vanilla it is pretty mild
You know, you can meet all of your protein requirements with food. Protein shakes are not necessary, though they can make it easier. If you want, you could try pure, unflavored whey. NOW Foods makes one, though I've never tried it personally.
