Not wanting to fiddle directly with the mains supply in a clock, I've
focused on using low voltage DC inputs, so all my experience is with
switched mode converters. Over a number of designs, I've used a
Tayloredge PSU and also built several home-brew switchers driven by a
microcontroller used to run the rest of the clock functions. The
former is a fantastic turnkey solution. The latter has given me
flexibility where I've needed it (esp recently as I've been playing
with dekatrons more) - it's more work in firmware, but you get
control. All you need is a controller with a spare ADC input and
preferably a hardware PWM output.

Horses for courses.
