From what I have read and understand extra protein during post = expensive urine (or not so expensive in this case).

To what degree? Milk is mostly casein protein, which is a slower metabolizing protein, combined with the galactose for liver glycogen replenishing and you can't beat milk as a carrier. If you're not lactose intolerant, you'll really benefit from using milk as the carrier.
Now, in terms of absorbtion, you want the PWO to be as fat-free as possible to that it doesn't interfere with absorbtion. The liquid absorbs very easily.
I've always used milk, except for my very first ever protein drink which was very uninspiring. Combined with oats and yogurt, it's monstrously good stuff.
