If you ask me Mechanicum doesn't come close to the bottom of the list. It was a bit vague but the characters and the plot and the politics were great I thought!

Fallen Angels and Descent of Angels I thought were the worst written. I didn't really care for any of the characters except Nemiel and Zahariel. Even then when Nemiel died I couldn't really give a shit.

Anthologies are annoying because a lot of the stories are just pointless fights that end in all of the characters, whom they literally just introduced to you, die.

Best: Scars - The White Scars are such a cool, understated legion. Also their near betrayal gives a twist to their legion that most of the one-dimensional astartes simply don't have.

Worst: Fallen Angels - Luther didn't strike me for a second as the betraying kind and when he suddenly starts unleashing warp powers on people it just seems like it's the first draft off the book that should have been rejected.

Horus Heresy is a great series but the battle scenes being so similar and focusing on Astartes all the time is getting really fucking tedious.
