I personally "recommend" cacert.org - just because we need people to use it :P.
Just make a new account in startssl.com. I believe that is allowed.
$42 for a wildcard - IPXCore

CACert is a good initiative - though only in the way that it is a community-driven CA, and not focused on ripping off customers - but let's face it; 'normal' users are just going to leave your website as soon as they notice that it creates a cert validation warning in their browser. CACert is unfortunately not a viable option for important matters, since it currently doesn't offer any advantage over creating your own self-signed certs.
As for StartSSL, fuck them. Steer clear of their shameful practices, that they justify through being the only CA that gives Class 1 certs for free.
TL;DR: CACert is unreliable, fuck StartSSL, Namecheap have some pretty cheap Class 1 certs though they're not the cheapest around.
Just get trial certs, one from each CA.
you can email startssl to work with them though
Wound up going with GoGetSSL... Don't think a $5.95 Comodo PositiveSSL can be beat... - thanks for the suggestions.
I tend to use: http://www.ssls.com/ cheap enough with a nice order system and interface.
We offer free SSLs with all VPS plans offered by us.
See our last offer here: http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/25944/vmbox-co-openvz-ssd-cached-dual-e5-2620v2-free-wildcard-ssl-from-3-m-nl-phx-la#latest
After all these years, namecheap.com still makes it cheap enough.

A PositiveSSL from namecheap

Namecheaps PositiveSSL is good value.
I always get mine from gogetssl.com
I got a reseller account here (partner)
I can get them for $3.50 a year
gogetssl adds EU VAT
shit VAT, i hate that stuff.
Welcome to the EU.
Couldn't live in the EU - one for the VAT.
If you have valid VAT number, you will not have any VAT for your company
VAT is applicable only to Private person within EU and companies that don't have VAT from EU. All other customers never have any VAT
Pretty much this. I ended up getting a wildcard cert from IPXCore cuz it was the cheapest I found. StartSSL wanted me to pay 29 bucks per cert to revoke them, which is insane considering how bad Heartbleed was, but maybe I was abusing their free certs in the first place. I won't be using them again and using a wildcard cert is just plain easier.
