A normal BEC just takes in the input voltage and cuts it in two parts. One for the receiver at the appropriate voltage, and the rest is turned into heat.
A switching BEC is better, it switches on or off depending on what it needs - it doesn't heat up.
Switching is better but usually found in bigger ESC's, 40A up for example.

The potential drawback with a switching UBEC can be increased system noise because of the high switching rate of the circuit IF it is not designed correctly. I use a Turnigy 3A Switching UBEC / With noise reduction http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=4319 that is very well designed and quiet electrically. As you can see they are quite reasonably priced at $4.18 US.
