Based on my own personal experience, I would recommend a linear supply. I use the Astron RS-35A. Yes, it is as big as the K3, but it is rock solid, well-filtered, and RFI-free, and has over-voltage and over-current protection. In addition, the Astron has heavy-duty output terminals that will better handle the peak current. 5-way binding posts are fine for QRP but I like the larger terminals for QRO. (all IMHO of course). Buy the power supply from R and L Electronics for a low price and quick delivery. (They carry switchers, too).
