MF Global is big, but very expensive. You might be better of by going with any of the US brokers / FCM, depends on what you are trading (Interactive Brokers, Velocity, Vision / Optimus, Crossland / DDT, etc.).
yeas, by expensive I mean commissions. Also margin requirements are higher than of those brokers I've mentioned before.
As you can see, I am also European. Most of the US brokers will let you open trading accounts in EUR or GBP. You should check for yourself.
I have only good things to say. Been smooth for the past year. However, they are just a broker so don't expect any special treatment. It's still you against everyone else.
Broker: Advantage, Trading Technologies, OptionsCity, IQ Feed

With the BK filing of MF Global, this brings up another perspective on risk which is operation risk. Put a better way, don't put all your eggs in one basket...
