I don't think Horus was a particularly bad choice, as he was certainly one of, if maybe not the most, loyal primarch, and was also the most versatile tactically (or at least that what it seems like from HH and the wiki page). I have to admit, it would've probably been better if the Emperor had just let the primarchs do their own thing, and stepped in on any major disagreements between them. But as the guy above me said, he didn't really understand emotions like jealousy or sibling rivalry, so didn't really understand that there would be negative things about apointing a warmaster.
