No problems with Verisign.

As for monthly charges though you might want to consider this...

Every transaction has a set fee plus a percentage. Charges under ten bucks end up with a rather large percentage of the charge going to the processor intead of the store (IH). as alternatives consider a quarterly charge and the annual charge.
This will also simplfy accounting procedures. Fewer transactions to deal with. Especially if you go the automatic route.

Not that it affects me (unless you un-grandfather some of your grandfathers!), but my basic thought is: the more options the better. And you should not do an automatic charge to credit cards unless the user has CLEARLY indicated that this is their preference. Personally, if I were on the receiving end, I would prefer an email that said "your subscription expires in one week, click on the following link to renew it for another month [or year, or whatever period], and then, after that link, or click on the following link to chnge your subscription options where they could cancel, change from monthly to yearly, etc. Is that hard to do?
