I think you've both hit the nail on the head from different angles, Horus probably did seem the best choice at the time and for a telepath of unparalleled power the Emp was a terrible judge of character. I wonder if that might be down in part to him having the power he did, someone who is used to simply cowing people by force of personality and psychic power is likely unused to actually needing to develop much understanding of human nature. Up to that point human nature had largely been whatever he said it was.
