I'm curious why Ben seemed genuinely interested in helping Locke until Locke said he knew about Eloise Hawking then BAM!

Either Ben's reason for killing Locke was metaphysical (a suicide couldn't resurrect, perhaps) or he needed information from him before he could die. Since he killed Ben right after he mentioned Hawking's whereabouts, I'd wager that's the information he needed.
