All SSL certs are essentially the same, within the three(ish) main classes. And the price can vary 1000% within each as well, because the entire CA industry is a complete sham. If you just need a basic cert, either your domain registar (to keep everything in one place, assuming the price is at least competitive) or ssls.com (cheapssl.com) - If you are paying more than $10 you're being ripped off. The next class is the wildcard variety. You'll pay a bit more for this, but the one cert will handle any subdomain on the primary domain you register. If I remember correctly these are around $80-90. Finally, to get the green bar in URL bar, you would need an extended validation. SSLs.com has these for like $125, but I know I have seen them for under $100 elsewhere.
