The cheaper ones aren't scammy - quite frankly it is the expensive ones that are the scammy ones!
I have used cheapssl.com (now ssls.com) for a number of years, probably a total of 20 sites, without a single issue.
That being said, namecheap or gandi.net also both offer reasonable priced certs.
Just so you are aware, if you think the $1,000,000 insurance policy offered with the more expensive providers is worth _anything_, be sure to read the fine print first.
The only potential more expensive thing of value is buying an EV cert to get the green URL bar - not that it actually provides even a little bit more protection, it doesn't - but because users see them and have been conditioned to immediately associate it with trust.
