Thanks People,

The reason for choosing 78L05is that Vin can go up to 12V! I'm looking
for a low quantity about 100 max. Reason I left out an SOIC is because
of the large footprint.

I can also visualize a surface mounted TO-92 :-)

Found out that TI makes a 78L05 in SOT-89. 

Part# UA78L05ACPK
Price: $0.112
MOQ is 1000 :-( 

Arrow sells this part for $0.18.

Thanks,
