There’s no difference from a security perspective between Let’s Encrypt and Comodo. The encryption supported is the same. The only difference is that one is free and automatic, the other costs money and must be renewed manually. Unless you have a really, _really_ good reason to need a paid cert, stick with Let’s Encrypt and save yourself the headache (and some money).
