One year ago, I used geotrust (an Equifax company).  At the time, they were 
the cheapest ($99 per year).  I have needed to use their support to migrate 
our key into tomcat (from apache).  They were responsive and overall, I've 
been happy with it.  We purchased the Geotrust True Business Id package which 
allows us to place a 'confidence' icon on our site.  You can see it at

I did notice a few months ago that godaddy.com is offering 'way cheap' SSL 
certs - like $49 a year.  I've used godaddy for DNS registrations and they 
seem like a reputable company; just didn't have a cheap SSL product last 
April.  Otherwise, I probably would go with them today, simply based on 
price.
