Hi, What features should one look for in such a device?

Primary feature is amp rating. JMHO. Bigger is not always better and watch the input amps. The rating is output.
As "Generic" info goes that is best response.
NOT ENOUGH INFO however for a more precise answer
What do you want to use it for?
There are several different DC>DC devices
Some are very simple.. Your 12 volt phone charger for example is likely nothign more than a 3 terminal regulator (if that) that drops the voltage.
A buck boost is much more complex starting with an inverter then some way of boosting the voltage (Transformer) then rectifier and filter and a regulator for the output.
NOTE that high frequency transformers and filters are not nearly as big as low (50/60Hz) units are.
