SSL is good for a website. Once a website is having an SSL certificate then all the communication between browser and server will be encrypted. There are less chances to have a hack on your website. You can show your website with HTTPs when you have SSL certificate which is now a ranking factor according to Google.

SSL is Even for sites that do not collect sensitive customer information, search engines suggest that switching to
https is an increasingly good idea and may help improve rankings.

My personal experience with this whole ssl situation is unless you have a ecommerce site itss not done much in terms of ranking or traffic for my website. The warning that chrome gives that we were tols would deter users is so small i dont thinkmost people even see it. I thought it would be pop up warning or something. obviously my site is more secure now for users data, but users dont enter data into my site as i dont do eccommerce or anything like that. I would say get auto ssl but dont expect a ranking boost or anything.

If your site deal with logged in user base then definitely you should opt for SSL certificate. It just encrypts the connection for everyone's benefits. Even domain validation certificate works much better and Let's Encrypt offers it for free for 90 days with free renewals.

Google ranks sites that use SSL certificates higher and their free so why wouldn't you use them?
