I use FreeSSL certs a lot. About $40/year. Usually an entry level ssl cert is applied on an application level - e.g. www.mydomain.com, subdomain.mydomain.com. FreeSSL page has some whitepapers & FAQ's that are worth a read. Also check with your ISP to find out what they've used for other users.

I've used Comodo because they have a large base and are cheap. About 93% and $70.

http://www.whichssl.com/ssl-certificate-comparison.html has reviews of ssl providers
sslreview.com used to have comparisons of more providers, including which ones owned their own root but they appear to have been snatched up by geotrust.

Hi
I think whichever service provider you choose, you must see the key size. It should be 128 bit for greater security. If you want to provide greater security to your clients and cost is not the main consideration then you should go for verisign

It doesn't really matter who you choose, because they all support 128-bit encryption. The important thing is how many clients they support.
And as for Verisign.. F them. They charge far too much money. They are greedy morons. I can't possibly say what I think about them without being  .

Try using the certificate wizard at http://www.sslassistant.com. They ask a few questions, then display the list of certificates with the items matching your needs.
