The only thing that matters about SSL is the fact that it encrypts the
data. You can reduce your checklist to:
-----------------------------------------------------
1: Make sure you use a good cipher |
-----------------------------------------------------

Why would it matter who signed it? As long as the data is encrypted as
it travels over the internet, I am happy.

Self signed is just as encrypted as Verisigned.
