Margins are fine - as long as you don't become confused if the vertical
ones collapse. Not a problem in that page (so far).
Paddings are fine - but they expand the element they're set on. May not
look right with a background.
So, it's a mixed matter which depends on what you try to achieve.
FWIW: I use margins in most cases where I want distance between
elements, because that's real distance (not just space). Collapsing
margins are easily dealt with as long as we know what happens.

.hnav doesn't expand to contain #nav (except in IE), so it won't show up.
The addition of...
#header {background: blue; height: auto;}
.hnav {background: #fff;}
#nav {overflow: hidden; background: #fff;}
...will make it look as you describe - blue on left side and white on
right side.
