I killed him mainly because when I finally do the Stormcloak questline I want the leader of my opponents (if he becomes the emperor) to be someone I can respect. And if he becomes the next emperor, and he doesn't want to lose Skyrim, he could very well just ask of the Brotherhood my or Ulfric's death. He's just potentially too powerful and untrustworthy. Seems risky to let him go. If I was nothing more than an assassin he'd live.
