Everyone's eyes and needs are different. Personally, I like the 6-20 AO Leupold for seeing my targets really well at all ranges. Especially squirrels who like to hide behind things and peek out. For longer shots, the extra power is great for seeing your impact for adjustment.
However, a buddy has a couple Leupold 4-12 Compact on his .22's and they are just about as perfect as I've ever used on a .22 for all around use. They are kind of hard to find and seem to bring a premium if you find them on ebay but well worth it. I'm kind of on a search for one now for an upcoming build, but have other pokers in the fire right now....
