As I have understood, in general:
Poor SMPS < Good SMPS < Simple LPS < Very Good SMPS, downstepers ~ simple Lin Regulated LPS < Shunt PSU ~ Super Regs
For some designs the list could be in different order. Usually oscillators need ultra clean dc up to MHz, for analog circuitry the ultra clean-ness should be up to few hundred kHz, and is subject to topology.
Personally I can vouch for shunt psu-s as these have been top performers in my equipment. Simple linear regulated psu will be among the cheapest solutions, but IC regulators can be limiting factor in some designs, like power amps or tube designs. SMPS-s are most efficient, but in audio this is generally last thing to worry about.
For amplifiers output z is debatable, but for psu the output z should be as low as possible in as extended freq range as possible. Shunt psu-s shine in this. Film and polymer caps as bypass and chokes will aid in this greatly too.
