In a pistol it's pretty hard to beat any of the Ruger autos. I have a bull barreled 22/45 that is the only gun I've seen even come close to my FILs High Standard Supermatic. You'd be best to try handling them to see what appeals to you. Browning, Walther, Colt and several other companies have made nice autos over he years, as has Smith and Wesson.
In a double action revolver Smith is the standard and hard to beat. I have the 22 Kit Gun that's been a real fine shooter. I've dispatched several coyotes at ranges out to 40ish yards on the trap line. I also have a K22 and M48 22 mag. The K framed 22's are superb shooters in good hands and the quality is...well, they're Smiths! I've also shot a few Colts in 22 that were nice, a High Standard Sentinel, one of the later models that was a really nice shooter. I've shot and owned a few Iver Johnsons and H&R's that were good shooters and few that weren't. I don;t think I've ever shot a 22 Taurus, but some folks report good success while others won't ahve anything to do with them.
In a single action Ruger is about the most readily found. I've not seen any Single Six 22's that I'd call really accurate, but that may just be my bad luck. I have shot a Colt New Frontier (IIRC) that was quite accurate and sort of regret not buying it. There are a few other makes floating around- there's one called a Rough rider that is an economy gun but has a good rep among local trappers as a decent shooter.
I'd suggest handling and shooting as many guns as you can and deciding after some reflection. I'm a died in the wool DA revolver man, but in 22's I can swing either way and be perfectly happy.
