IME, Let's Encrypt works very well.  I'm just using it in a basic way 
though.  There are many clients (probably too many) that will update 
your certificates automatically, provided that you have some sort of web 
server that can serve files out of a specific directory.  I went with 
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh because it doesn't depend on 15 sets 
of libraries and languages like so many of the other clients--just bash, 
openssl, and curl or wget.

Wildcard certs would be really useful in some contexts.  Updating TXT 
records could be annoying or impossible if you don't run your own DNS 
server for whatever domain you're getting the cert for.
