I think geocerts actually resells geotrust certificates... 
http://geotrust.com/

me, I go even cheaper and use rapidssl certs 
https://www.rapidssl.com

(though you should find a reseller... you save a lot)  

but both geotrust and rapidssl are signed by the equifax root certificate,
so the  difference is mostly in how much verification they do that you
are who you say they are.  In my case, I paid $15 or so for a year, I think,
through some no-name reseller.   Rapidssl verified I had access to an email 
in the prgmr.com WHOIS records, and signed my cert.  Weak, really, but I'm 
not handling credit cards and I'm cheap.  It is signed by the equifax 
root certificate, which is in most browsers, and I haven't gotten any 
complaints.

It's also a single root certificate.  A while back a client of mine
bought one of the godaddy second level certificates, where his cert was
signed by another company that was signed by one of the root certificiates.

It was a right pain to get it working under tomcat.  I got it figured out,
but it would have been much cheaper for him to just get something signed 
by a root certificate.
