I'd stick with water during. I get a icky mouth if I drink Powerade/Lucozade Sport. Save them for after. But that's me talking CV work.

I would avoid milk after a workout. Although you are getting protein from it, it is also high(ish) in fat, which slows down the digestion of proteins.
Ideally you'd want some protein and some simple carbs. Simple carbs cause an insulin spike which is good for the absorbtion of protein by the muscles.
