At the time, crucifixion was for the absolute lowest, most despicable people- BECAUSE it was so horrible. When Jesus was crucified, there was no greater torture in existence, and no greater humiliation at the hands of those who nailed you up. Assuming God planned it that way, he'd have wanted as bad as possible.
