SSL Recomendations?

What do you recommend? What CAs do you guys trust?

@FaunCB made a good recommendation since many people do have their own preference of SSL Provider.

I personally use Comodo Wildcard Positive SSL because my nameservice NameCheap resells them.
Let’sEncrypt is also quite nice.

Let’s Encrypt, and they’re supposed to roll out wildcard certs round about now IIRC.

If you are only doing internal stuff… I like generating my own certs and setting up a cert authority.

I am hesitant to get a cert from Let’s Encrypt because of the fact they claim to offer free certs. When any organization for profit or not offers me a product or service for free, My only reaction is what is the got ya. Would someone please explain to me how does Let’s Encrypt generate the money it needs to generate to finance the upkeep and improvements to its project?

They have lots of corporate sponsors, like Google and Mozilla.
