I was thinking about making a paid membership site for certain piece of software I want to sell and was wondering if this would be a good solution.

Provided you set up the correct permissions, the download links are fully secure. Furthermore, if you configure lDM to store files outside the web space, they are also completely secure against someone guessing the filename (which is not easy anyway as uploads are stored using random filenames)
