They all work just as well as each other unless you have requirements to support unusual/old clients. Just make sure your server has any necessary chain certificates as well as the server certificate. Run the ssllabs checker after setting up (or try connecting with a command-line client), some browsers hide this problem. GoDaddy are about 10x too expensive, try ssls.com
