Here's the issue, can your employees/clients either live with the message that the certificate is untrusted or have enough knowledge (and you may need a website to download from) to add a new trusted certificate authority into their browser(s)?
If the answer is yes, go for using your own. Otherwise consider springing for a certificate from a known authority. You will waste more time($) answering questions and troubleshooting user errors than the cost of the certificate.
