Burgos-Gil: The regulators of Beilinson and Borel
Levine, in K-theory handbook page 510, mentions real Deligne cohomology and integral Deligne cohomology, and cycle class maps to these cohomologies.
C*-algebras: See many things in the folder Noncomm geom and Cstar-alg. Same for Noncomm geom in the sense of Connes, Cyclic homology
Loday: Cyclic homology. In Noncomm geom folder. Covers many aspects of Cyclic and Hochschild homology. Among many other topics: Secondary char classes (section 11.5), Homology of small categories (App C), periodic and negative cyclic homology, Andre-Quillen homology, Deligne cohomology. For the latter, the main point is that there a cyclic homology complex of Connes which computes integral coeffs reduced Deligne cohomology but which has strictly commutative products!! This is stated for smooth algebras over C, not sure if it can be generalized to more general schemes. Also I am not sure if this has any relevance for non-reduced Deligne cohomology.

Definition
Philosophically, absolute Hodge cohomology might be better in some cases. See Schneider bottom of p 8. This may or may not be related to connectivity properties of the representing spectra. Last paragraph of Schneider says that the interpretation of Deligne cohomology as an Ext group is valid for p < 2q, the Ext group being Ext1 from R to

Connections to Number Theory
Regulator map!
Note the following version which might be related to a regulator map from etale motivic cohomology: Paulo Lima-Filho, TAMU Integral Deligne cohomology for real projective varieties
We develop an 'integral Deligne cohomology theory' for real varieties which bears to Bredon cohomology the same relation that ordinary Deligne cohomology for complex varieties bears to singular cohomology. The theory has a wide range of connections ranging from equivariant topology (via Bredon equivariant cohomology), through complex differential geometry (via holomorphic line bundles with quadratic forms and holomorphic connections) to number theory (via Milnor K-theory of number fields and regulator maps). We will present --time permitting-- many examples. In a forthcoming work we show that the cycle map from motivic cohomology to Bredon cohomology factors through our Deligne cohomology groups.
In Esnault-Vieweg's survey on Deligne they outline a theory for real varieties, as well. Such a variant would be related to Lichtenbaum's etale motivic cohomology and the Borel version of equivariant cohomology. The difference between their version and ours stems from the difference between the etale and Nisnevich topologies.

Other Information
Possibly the article of Dubois and Jarraud could be interesting. Contains results (\"locally free of finite type and compatible with base change\") about higher direct images of sheaves of differential forms, and also the structure sheaf, assuming certain properties of the morphism.
Deligne cohomology is mentioned at the nLab entry on differential cohomology
