Safety and advantages of smaller poker rooms like William Hill vs. PS and FTP

I am planning to open an account with William Hill but would like to have some idea about the safety of that site in comparison to PokerStars and FTP, both of which I consider relatively safe.
I heard that WH and probably the whole ipoker does not even ban any user software used for datamining or real time play suggestion purposes. Is this true?

More generally:
Does anyone here have had experience with this pokerroom recently?
Would you recommend it for small stakes play and possible bankroll building?

I'd consider William Hill safer than Stars or FTP.

Regardless of your nationality, its not outwith the realms of possibility that FTP's funds are seized. Both sites lost around $30m a little over a year ago.

William Hill is a traded company, with a physical presence and a far longer history.

So I wouldn't worry about it.
