Look into 2 parts together -- ST Micro's RBO40 (Mouser has them) as a 
protection device with any regulator of your choice.  For low current stuff 
(~150mA), I use regular (linear) 7805's.  For 1Amp+, I use the LM2670 
switching regulators from National.  I've had excellent results so far with 
hundreds of these in use.
