I'm a fan of GeoTrust. Yes, you do tend to pay the piper when going with them but it's a name that people recognize and they provide 'reissue insurance' which I know I have personally cashed in on at least a dozen times.
'A name that people recognize': If you purchase an SSL cert through GeoTrust, they allow you to display their geotrust security symbol graphic on your site. As you probably already know, there are many people who are paranoid about submitting their credit card number to ANY site. By putting some sort of security symbol on your site, you provide a (false) sense of security that your customers will appreciate. If they actually recognize the company that is being displayed in the security symbol, even better. 'reissue insurance': Basically it ensures that if you mess up the installation or blow up your server, you can get another SSL cert without having to pay for it. Say you generate the request file, send it to GeoTrust, and they issue you a certificate. You then pull a bonehead move and delete the site from IIS or spill your beer on the server and it snaps, crackles, and pops. Once you get things set up again, the cert that GeoTrust sent you will no longer work because it will no longer match up with the request file. With reissue insurance, you simply create a new request file and go through the reissue process - they will send you a new cert using the new request file. If you want to go with a vendor other than GeoTrust, I personally would make sure that the vendor provided this sort of insurance since the times that you cash in on it are typically stressful enough :).
