My ex boyfriend is my fiances best friend. My relationship with him ended rather messily but we have since rebuilt our friendship. He is the most logical (and possibly only) choice for best man as he is the only really close friend that my fiance has and he has been really supportive of both of us and our relationship. Several people, however, have commented that it is inappropriate for him to even be invited to the wedding never mind as best man.
Some of my friends are still angry with him over our break up and the person who was my first choice for maid of honour has already said that she would refuse to stand up for me if he was in the wedding party. This makes me question even wanting her to be invited to the wedding.
Is it really that inappropriate for him to be there?

The ex has redeemed himself with you are your fiance and as long as both of you are comfortable then there should be no issue. Everyone has the right to forgive and be forgiven. I think that the ex actually did you a favor and allowed you to move on to find a more suitable mate.

I agree. Typically, in the etiquette world, we would advise against even inviting exes. But, there is most always an exception to the rule. This seems to be one of them. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
