None of the above is going to get you the results you want if your diet is crap. Begin by making sure you've got a clean diet, with a substantial amount of protein, and a general caloric surplus. Check out www.fitday.com to plan a meal setup and give you an idea of how many calories you need to take in to be gaining muscle, or losing fat.

Whey is a great way to get protein in a convenient, low calorie way.

Casein is a slower digesting protein, which is great for bedtime to keep the anabolic processes going.

BCAA's and EAA's are great. There is an article on here somewhere noting when to take both of those. The great part is they are more easily accessible than the AA's in whey, and are taken up a little bit more readily.

Glutamine is unnecessary, in fact i believe danmirage just made up a post with an article about it in there, which you should look up.

Also, i'd recommend an Essential Fatty Acid supplement, such as any fish oil.

Work on your diet before the supplementation regime. You cannot overestimate the importance of diet. Supplementation is crap without the diet. Once your diet is clean and you have a sense of the gains you can make without supplementation, then if you'd like, you could start taking a creatine and/or a NO supp.

You can replace a casein protein supplement with cottage cheese.

BCAA's, creatine, whey, fish oil and a multivitamin are a staple in my opinion. As for NO-Xplode, you may wish to try something cheaper like Xceed, I've heard alot more praise for it than for NO-Xplode, which I plan to switch from.
