If by "web service" the OP means an API, then Selenium is probably overkill here. I'm a huge fan of cucumber-style acceptance tests, but this question seems to be more about working with legacy code than it is about improving product quality, and acceptance tests are worse than useless if they're written by a person or team who has no intention of spending any effort maintaining them or even running them on a regular basis.
