Pea Protein is a complete protein with all of the essential amino acids. It has slightly less of a few of them, but there are scientific studies showing equivalent or almost equivalent (depending on age) value as whey protein. An added benefit is that it doesn't leave you feeling bloated or give you gas and your skin will look healthier than when consuming a lot of whey.
Well, I try not to use supplements when I can go for real food, so I wouldn't know which protein powder is more effective.. I enjoy peas even though I don't eat them often. The foods I mentioned were examples of cheap protein sources. Vital wheat gluten (which is actually an ingredient for meals) is more than 4 times cheaper than pea protein powder in my area and roughly the same amount of amino-acids. All the rest of the nutrients (and the amino-acids it has on lower concentrations) gluten doesn't have and may exist in a pea protein powder supplement, exist in the rest of the options I mentioned :-)
