I haven't had the opportunity to fire the .17 HMR so take this for what it's worth. The .22 LR is a great plinking round, it's cheap, plentiful, and enjoyable to shoot. I live in the states, where it is relatively easy to obtain weapons in either caliber, and I chose the Ruger 10/22, a .22 LR semi automatic rifle. I chose this gun because ammo is cheap, parts are readily available if needed, accessories are easy to come by, and the gun is rock solid. Again, I can't say very much about the .17 HMR because I don't know much about it.
