Looking to implement SSL. Every tutorial/sample I have found uses self signed certificates. Would there be any advantage of using a certificate from a CA such as digicertor rapidssl?


depends entirely on your use case.    generally, since you control both ends of a postgresql connection, there's no advantage to using signed certificates, but if you have your own CA already, by all means go ahead and use it.
