**************EDIT*************
UPDATE
What's up y'all, I think the LM317 is the best voltage regulator because of its availability and user-friendliness. So I am ranking based on convenience, to me.
Anyways, I would like to comment on the fact that you can use just one or more than one LM317 in a circuit. Shouldn't it be obvious that you should only use one LM317 per circuit(this is how "drivers" are portrayed)? The answer is no, because there are multiple factors that play a role in determining the heat produced and the voltage input. The answer I used to think was yes, until i found out** more than one needs to be used.
