Chicagoan,
Since I am not a lawyer so sometimes I feel scared to give immigration advice to people with full confidence, but still I will help you with what I know and find. But please do your research as well. If anybody else know better, please pitch in.
Both parents are principal applicants:
Yes, as typically the derivative applicants are the terms used for spouse and children of the principal beneficiary in the petition provided they are named in the petition.

Evidences to provide:
I am sure you are following through the USCIS checklist for adjustment of status document list. I am not sure if you want to apply for travel or not and EAD either. I have been hearing a lot of lawyers say that file for travel document as you never know when the emergency can strike in our lives and then we have to head back home. This is up to you to decide for EAD and travel document. In my case my lawyer filed for both though I never used them actually while adjustment of status was going on.
Regarding other documents, I hope you are just sending them copies right? Do not send the original birth certificates or I-94 records. And also since two people are adjusting status, then you might have to file separately and not file together, so that filing fee might double up.
Regarding filing fee payment mode, check this link please, I am sure you know about it.
I used to send certified check from USPS or sometimes even personal check. The only good thing with personal check is you can find out if USCIS has taken the money or not directly from your bank statement.
Regarding medical, I-693, I think my lawyer made me submit together with I-485. I am not 100% sure on that, but since there is a 2 years validity, I think you can wait until USCIS requests for it and send later.
Just for reference.
