If your goals are either strength-oriented or aesthetic-oriented, then strength trainng should always come first, and cardio/conditioning afterwards (if at all).
Actual milk is good. The kind that comes out of a cow and goes into your stomach (and in my opinion, the fewer steps between these 2 events, the better). Most people will never progress to a point at which they need to worry about any supplements other than general health supplements - multi-V, omega3, etc. Most bulking protein supplements have about the same nutitional content as skim milk, which is less effective than full cream milk for building muscle (and not just because the same volume of full cream has more calories than the same volume of skim). I'd just drink milk.

If you want to bulk, I'd advise that you limit the days and duration of your cardio workout(s). 20-30 minutes sessions , twice a week at most. Avoid excessive cardio.
As for a good source of protein, immediately after a great workout, Musclemilk is a good choice. You could also look for protein bars that have 20g of Protein. I personally enjoy the Pure Protein bars after a great workout.
Good luck with your fitness goals!

When in the gym and stressing your body's muscles, the body puts off a gas after 60 mins that's stops your body from gaining any muscle. So if you're in the gym for 60 mins of weights then go for a run.. the running won't build you muscle (and that's what it's not intended for anyways) you could use that running for your cardio. But on the flip side if you start with running for say 20 mins you only have 40 mins to get in your strength training and that might be a little rushing. Therefore do the conditioning and cardio after heavy weight training. Remember HIIT training not a 10 min. walk then go home. do something like 30/60 seconds of slow paced movement (cycling, rowing, running, etc.) then 30/60 seconds of your max effort! for running sprint your little heart out, same with rowing and whatever else you want to do. you only need about 15 mins of this after a heavy strength training work out. and i emphasize heavy, because light weight training is useless and will only get you that puffy muscle looking. real definition comes from high number of sets and low number of reps..
1-3 reps, pure strength. 4-9 muscle and strength. 10-15 size.
