These are the choices I am making now as well.

I actually moved away from the Verisign group of ruined companies back when they bought out Network Solutions, over a couple of years ago, and I began to receive what has to qualify as the most abysmal customer non-service ever. I saw the light then. I've moved nearly all my domain registrations to godaddy.com, whom I would recommend to anyone, and I never suggest that a customer purchase a verisign cert or get a Payflow Pro account.

I have several clients using the Comodo SSL certificate and they are quite happy with it; the geotrust QuickSSL product (geotrust.com) is also quite good, and they have a 10-minute fully automated approval process, which is handy when you gotta have it right now.
