   If you don't need the speed, a Pi 2 is a good choice.

   I'm assuming that's the input voltage rating.  You didn't mention the current   
   rating though.  These days, I tend to go for switchmode converters, because I   
   often want to run off batteries and switchmode are vastly more efficient (can   
   exceed 90%).  They also run cooler, which is handy on those hot summer days.    
   The only downside is the potential for RFI, but there's still a lot of good   
   ones out there.
