While browser-based SSL certs handling may end up being - perhaps - a pure 
convenience issue (i.e. "clicking" through some additional acceptance 
dialogues), at a client of mine we have run into some other problems, which 
forced us to stay with the more reputable sites: Java-based apps running over 
SSL, whose embedded (hard-coded) certs list made it impossible to go with the 
GoDaddy's of the world. One such example is the Jinitiator from Oracle. I 
have not checked recently, but last year, with the Oracle apps version they 
were running, they could not use cheapos for SSL certs.
