Anyone have any views on particular SSL vendors?

In particular, whether the better known badges and HTTPS vendors have positive effects on buyers perception of the company? Site in question is aimed at Irish market.

Was looking at Verisign, but they seem to have become expensive since last I looked (a while ago). Also looking at Thawte.

Thanks in advance
Richard
