Here's an interesting article that breaks down some of the differences between soy and cow's milk, as well as a bit of information on which is easier on the environment:
Some things covered in the article: the sources of protein and calcium, dairy production vs. soy production, and how much greenhouse gases are produced by each. It is a side issue to your question of which is better for you (and the article doesn't deal with rice milk), but in an age where we're constantly conscious of our effect on the planet, it's nice that the information's out there.
