Whatever regulator you decide upon...IMHO you should also replace the battery. If the regulator crapped out, it hasn't been maintaining the battery properly. Then, when you are all packed up, and ready to head out on a week long trip the battery will be dead. Sure, you can then charge it, and then the next morning in the middle of BumFukTown it won't start again.

Replacing the battery is cheap insurance.
