The only thing you need to know is that some switchers won't start
regulating the power output until there's a specific load.  I have had
switchers that would start working as long as you drew .2 amps out, and
I've had some that wouldn't work until you drew 2 amps out. 
But you'll be fine using them for prototype work.  I have one on my
workbench, and a few spares.  They come in handy.
