khorne, slaanesh & tzeentch lords get a decent upgrade in their respecive mounts;
- the juggernauht is tougher than the average daemonic mount due it's 4+ armour save on top of it's daemonic ward save, so it's a bit hardier.
- steeds of slaanesh are insanely fast! a 1st turn charge is possible with them, though it's likely fairly suicidal...
- discs of tzeentch fly so your chapion can zap pretty much anyone he fancies.
otherwise, i'd stick to just a basic barded chaos steed or else if you like a real pts sink, go for the chaos dragon!!!
cheers!
