You're about to get a lot of opinion. Look out, and YMMV with all.   As 
for me, well... I loath Go daddy and have phased out all services from 
them.  We no longer use them for registrations, certs or any other services.

I've had very good success with SSL products from Thawte, Geotrust, 
Comodo and Verisign.   Corporately, we usually "default" to Thawte 
through our OpenSRS partnership.  I have yet to run into trouble with 
them, and our customers are typically using their least-expensive 
SSL-123 product, which is pretty affordable (retail pricing varies, our 
partner pricing is fairly aggressive).

In the old days, I could see a reason to put up with GD and their bad 
chains.  Times have changed.

HTH,
