In your case, I'd choose:
1. Ruger 10/22 - cheap, nice looking, and extremely reliable.
2. Marlin or Savage .17 HMR - ammo is much more expensive, but the accuracy will knock your socks off! I'm talking three shot groups in a thumbnail at 100 yards. But, as it's been said, it's not a squirell gun unless you can make all head shots.
3. 22 mag. - the 17 is just a better choice in my opinion.
