Is there something I don't understand in this area? What makes a linear supply more reliable than a switcher? My first guess would be a switcher would be more reliable because it would run cooler. That's probably assuming the same amount of design effort which is probably not a valid assumption if I'm comparing a brand-X linear with a brand-Z switcher. A quick glance at the general construction might give a better answer. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
