Banquo is his best friend. Aside from that, Banquo is well loved by many, and if he were to be killed by Macbeth, it would look bad on him. By having the murderers do it, he can mourn Banquo's death and be free of suspicion.

Macbeth tries to bribe Banquo by hiring two murderers to kill him. He does this because Banquo knows about the witches' prophecies and could pose a threat to Macbeth's throne since they foretold that Banquo's descendants would be kings. By eliminating Banquo, Macbeth hopes to secure his own power and prevent any challenges to his reign.

Macbeth enlists murderers to assassinate Banquo.
The witches had predicted that Banquo's descendants would become kings whereas Macbeth's would not. Macbeth resented that. Also, Banquo was aware of what the witches had said and might suspect Macbeth of Duncan's murder. Macbeth says, "My fears in Banquo stick deep."
Banquo was created in 1603.
The ghost of Banquo.
Macbeth kills Banquo in the play and then Banquo's ghost haunts Macbeth.
No logical reason, but then fear is not a logical thing. Although Macbeth says, "My fears in Banquo stick deep," he is not totally clear about why he is afraid of him. Most likely, he is afraid that Banquo knows too much about him, knows what the witches said to him and how troubled he was by it, and as a result may suspect Macbeth of murdering Duncan. He is also annoyed by the prophecy of the "fruitless crown" and the prophecy that Banquo will be the father to kings. To prevent this, Macbeth would have to kill not only Fleance but also Banquo, to prevent Banquo from fathering more children. This prophecy does not threaten Macbeth, yet he feels threatened by it. All of this makes the ball of anxiety which he feels because of the murder focus irrationally on Banquo.
