I have a few regulators from HK. They work great.

With a Futaba R617 I'd recommend 5 Volts, not 6.
Just make sure you hook them up between the switch and rx, not directly to the battery. They would drain it when not in use.
Make sure it can deliver enough current, a 3A regulator can not feed a large plane with digital high torque servos....
What kind of problems should I be looking for if I use 6v instead of 5v on a 617 receiver?
I just want to know what to look for if I start having problems so that I know that its caused by using 6v
