I think that Tom Riddle deserved to be in the Slug Club. Unfortunately, I have to agree with Slughorn's pick, because despite the very terrible things Lord Voldemort did during his life, he was extremely unique. He was incredibly powerful and talented in ways that rivaled all the wizards of his time. He was driven and innovative in the worst of ways. He was willing to go to drastic measures to gain success. He achieved notoriety that went above and beyond any other wizards before him. If we're going strictly by criteria and not outcome... yes, Tom Riddle was a shoe-in for Slug Club.
