We started with a comodo cert last year and loved it.  Since then we have 
itegrated it with all new interchange sites and all renewals of verisign, 
geotrust, and thwate, we have used comodo for.

With any newer provider there is an issue of browser compatability.  comodo 
certs go back as far as IE v.5 and Netscape v.4.  Here is a link for a 
comparision.  http://gostats.com/gogi/browser_war.pl?mn=gostats&all=t

We are a dealer for comodo, but would happily provide the certificates for 
wholesale (at cost) for anyone using interchange who needs one.  Just contact 
me directly.  Our cost is around $40.00.

There is also a site by geotrust called free ssl http://freessl.com (geotrust 
trying to reclamin marketshare they lost to comodo) and rip off their 
resellers.  I have experimented with that one, compatability is okay.  On the 
test site we did, out of 30 users only 4 couldn't access it at all (mac users 
in the US on aol dial-up).  For us this wasn't good odds, support is not 
available on the free certs, but hey... they are free.
