The LTC3633A is a great regulator, I'm using it on a project and it works quite well. I needed 5V and 3.3V from a 12V rail, so it was perfect for me, though a bit on the expensive side, and not ideal for hand soldering (not an issue for my project, since it's for work). Also, it's probably a bit overkill for what you're doing, unless you need two separate power rails (different voltages or just separate rails). On the plus side, the LTC3633A has some great data sheets that basically shows you exactly how to design a power supply for "standard" voltages, such as 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V, so you should be able to basically copy their schematic into your schematic capture program and be done.
