IMHO, if you're only going to get one gun, then the .17 would probably be more useful, as it's something like double the .22 velocity, yada, yada, but .22's are so damn cheap to shoot, that that adds to the fun factor, at least for me (seems like more fun to worry about your barrel getting hot than your wallet getting light).
