We used Thawte for a number of years before moving to godaddy. The
Thawte cert was fine for all browsers we ran into, windows, mac and
linux as well as phones. Same is true of the godaddy one. We moved to
godaddy because of the low cost of a wildcard cert. Very nice to have a
single cert that covers any number of sites in a given domain. Of course
you need IP addresses for each of those SSL sites*, but that's not a big
deal.
As for the EV stuff, total sham, at least now. Look at your site stats,
how many users do you have w/a browser that would even show the EV
status? Considering much of the world (general consumer, not smart IT
people) are still on IE6, EV buys you nothing. And would you leave a
site just because it didn't have an EV cert? I buy lots of stuff on
amazon, I don't see an EV cert there. :-)

* Yes, there are ways to host multiple SSL sites on a single IP, but
it's a hack at best.
