The only benefit of purchasing an SSL Server certificate from VeriSign is that web browsers will automatically trust your certificate. If you use the CA server you just installed to issue an SSL certificate, web browsers by default will pop up an annoying box stating that the certificate is not a part of the root certification tree. You can "install" the certificate on your web browser, and it will no longer pop up the box.
So, if the multi-hundred dollar cost of the verisign certificate is worth getting rid of the annoying box, then you should purchase the verisign certificate. Otherwise, just issue your own, and tell your users how to "install" the certificate on their computers.
