Comodo is fast and competent. They have a very good web-based
user interface as well where you can manage all your certificates.
Truly recommended!

The reason you could not find them in IE's cert chain is
Comodo is using a chain certificate of GTE. Their root cert
points to GTE CyberTrust Global Root.
