I haven't yet had the need to try revocation, but Wosign is a more accessible option than startssl. No noncommercial restriction, 1 year free.

One thing to look out for though is the fact that they offer you to generate a private key for you.

You probably don't want them to have your private key :)

Yeah, a lot of CAs do this. I don't like it, I'd prefer a policy that forbids that. But as long as they don't force me to use that option I'm kinda okay with it.
