No entirely, but mostly: seeing as this is my job, I should have some idea. Currently writing a post about how we've used some psych techniques to automate the non-automatable parts which I'll post on HN.

EV matches identity to public keys. Nothing more, nothing less.
If you need EV, we (https://certsimple.com) specialise in making those background checks far less painless with a bunch of unique tech. This means you get your certificate faster and with a lot less effort on your behalf (and a lot more on ours) during the verification process: https://certsimple.com/about
If a DV cert is fine, go with Let's Encrypt (Hi Richard!), dnsimple (Hi Anthony!) or CloudFlare (Hi John and Filippo!) or Heroku.
Anecdotally: I fully recommend CertSimple. We used them for an EV cert we needed and not only was it simple to set up the request, but the processing was quick, too!
Quick plug for a company I've used: SSLmate (http://sslmate.com) makes cert purchase (for those whom need this) painless and fast. They use Comodo and Geotrust FWIW. I've had my own pain with Comodo through other resellers, and moved on to sslmate and godaddy. Recently moved my home blog (http://scalability.org) to LE. Work (http://scalableinformatics.com) is using godaddy for now, though thinking hard on using sslmate going forward for it (because ... godaddy).
I can't find pricing on your website. There's a page called 'pricing' that says I can find pricing on the home page. When I click the link, I find a lot of marketing text, but no pricing.
