Looking at the financial data for all FCMs provided by CFCT it looks like ADM Investor Services is one of the biggest.
In addition to that, they are owned by ADM, an established, large organisation with a lot of real, tangible assets which could be an important factor in case of insolvency, as opposed to other FCMs who operate purely in the financial sector.
I also reckon most of their clients are hedgers, hence unlikely to pose any substantial risk of blowing up the whole company and taking other clients with them, adding stability to the general picture.

All in all, it seems this is the safest FCM to entrust with one's money currently. I would appreciate your comments/suggestions that perhaps will allow me to look at it from a different angle

I really think the choice of FCM depends on what type of trading you are looking to do and your general trading needs. Like I read by my colleague RobertMorse mentioned, bigger is not always better as we witnessed with MFGlobal about 8 years ago or so....
We are an Independent Introducing Brokers working with 7 FCM and be happy to provide an opinion via PM based on your trading needs ( selling options? day trading? size of account? specific software? etc.)
