Soy is constantly chunking, iced or hot it's an losing battle. although it is unsightly it does not effect the drink or make it poisonous as I have had people claim.<br />
<br />
If you're going to go with soy, save the expensive barista series pacific soy, I'd recommend keeping your temps below 130 for the best taste and consistency for latte art. Also it is notable to only incorporate air until about 60 degrees otherwise you will get nothing but bubbles.<br />

<br />
rice milk is relatively difficult and you can use it, but only for the taste and not any sort of latte art.<br />
<br />
hemp milk froths nicely but doesn't have the rich texture so I would keep the temps lower here as well and with less air.<br />
<br />
the two best tasting and best frothing milks outside of soy that I have used are almond (best) and coconut. coconut milk needs some sort of other player with the drink because the combo is a bit wonky. almond almost always tastes yummy. give it a whirl. i've enjoyed silk's new brand of almond milk though it's more like corporate vegan milk...you have to find what works for you.<br />
<br />
i will continue searching and testing. let us know how your tests have gone.<br />

+1 for Pacific Soy Barista Series.. they add additional oils to the product, allowing it to produce a more uniform, silky result.. instead of the typical foamy non-dairy products.. looks and tastes great !
