Speaking for "OPTIMUM NUTRITION GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY", obviously most are better in milk, and a smoothie is a good way to mask the artificialness of the flavor, but water is best if you're just looking to limit calories. The flavors I've found to be the most palatable are White Chocolate, Extreme Milk Chocolate, and Cookies & Cream, all three are fine in water, in milk, or in smoothies. That said none of them are what I'd call 'good'. They're all artificial and taste fake to some degree but those ones I found the least objectionable.

Chocolate Coconut is particularly awful, Vanilla Ice Cream was bad too, very strong and tastes very artificial but I was able to get through it by adding it to fruit smoothies which did a good job at masking the otherwise overwhelming artificial vanilla flavor, but I still have a large tub of Chocolate Coconut I can't seem to find a way to get through, it overpowers everything I've tried adding it to and tastes absolutely disgusting on its own. The rest are meh, you can get through a tub of them but again, none are what I'd call good.
