If your thinking of buying because it's collectable, check with the guys on Rimfire Central or S & W collectors forums to get their opinion.
On the 22A vs the others, the 22A is still cheaper than most of the others so its not exactly a fair head-to-head comparison. Also, the 22A has two advantages over most of the above:
a. Easier to take down and clean and
b. Easy to swap barrels. Since the barrel has a built in sight rail, that means if you get a second barrel its easy to switch an optical (or dot, etc) sight in and out quickly without losing zero, if you like.
Disadvantages are a little plastic buffer that wears out and needs to be changed every so often (though it only costs pennies).
