Mmmkay. Well, first off, I've never been a milk drinker because I've been allergic to it all my life. So I couldn't tell you what a glass of milk tastes like, for instance.
I started out with rice milk - and preferring it over the soy milks I'd tried - because, as others have said, it's less creamy, a bit more watery. But then I switched to soy milk and I recently tried some plain rice milk on my cereal and was so revolted! Who knows... it just tasted so, well, ricey  (For the record, back when I was liking it, I loved the carob flavour! Moreso the carob rice dream ice cream, but the milk was good to.)
I drink So Good's Fat Free Soy Milk exclusively now (well, I don't drink it; I never got in that habit... yuck... I put it over cereal, in tea, and bake with it). The full fat varieties are usually simply too high-fat for me, and I find the fat-free one is far less creamy than the ones with fat in them. I won't kid ya - soy milk does have a distinctive "soy taste" to it, and it's sweetened. And this variety does have a small amount of carageenan in it *I think* (don't have any in the fridge right now to check)... but it's never bothered me, even though carageenan in other things usually does.
I think some people prefer to cook with the unsweetened soy milks for savoury dishes like sauches, but honestly - I've never had a problem using the sweetened stuff for those kinds of things. A matter of preference I guess.
Phew! Well that was my long-winded not-milk manifesto, lol. Hope it helped!
