The sweetener decides it for a lot of people
If stevia has never agreed with your taste buds, stop here: Paleo Protein's flavored bags use monk fruit, and Plain Naked has no sweetener at all. If stevia doesn't bother you, the decision comes down to egg and protein per scoop.
Egg is the other deciding line
Beef Protein Isolate lists no egg. The facility that makes it also handles egg, though, so with a serious egg allergy I'd show that line to your allergist before trying it. Paleo Protein contains egg on purpose, as its second protein.
Protein per scoop, and per gram of powder
Paleo Protein wins on protein per scoop, 26 g to 23 g. Per gram of powder the isolate edges ahead. Aztec Vanilla isolate is 23 g of protein in a 25 g scoop, about 92%, and Paleo Protein is 26 g in 30 g, about 87%. Ancient Cacao isolate comes in at 84%, since its cacao powder takes up part of the scoop.
