With so much noise on social media regarding protein, different types of protein, plant, fermented yeast, whey concentrate, whey isolate etc etc

I just want to know which is the most consistent brand of protein (If there is any)
Which is

1. Easy on the stomach,
2. No random test being failed, no heavy metals being detected(goes without saying),
3. Good taste(I don’t like chocolate so that becomes a hurdle)
4. Not a lot of gimmick and
5. Not charging me too much of a premium.(I understand whey is becoming expensive to make but if I would care more about your supply chain issue than the price I pay, I’d rather be an investor in your business than a customer)
6. I’d like creatine mono hydrate to be available of the same brand, call it my OCD or whatever but I don’t think it’s too much to ask for

I feel I’ve tried my share of proteins but none of them seem to stick
\\- Tried Muscle Blaze, Muscle tech and ON just to realize they’re just being packaged as “imported” brands, they’re essentially made in India and also if I remember it right, Muscle Tech and ON had also failed some test with some heavy metal traces found or something
\\- I’ve tried TwT too, found it too gimmicky and more of a fad, like the brand but I don’t know if I like the protein
\\- I’ve tried Oziva plant protein too, but I feel there’s a mental block for me with plant proteins as a whole, I feel it’s too good to be true, I always feel there’s some catch associated with it which is not known publicly.
\\- Superyou too, too gimmicky and fad-dy

And these D2C brands don’t really have creatine.

That being said I’m considering true basics (but didn’t find great reviews on Reddit), only what’s needed(cocoa is the flavor that’s available + no creatine) or I go back to the Indian made “imported” brands after doing some research about the failed tests.

Could someone please save my overthinking mind and give me a solution for this dilemma as I think my current protein(ON vanilla flavor whey concentrate) is officially over 😅 and I don’t wanna be stuck in a limbo for long.
