I use 22 for squirrels and found the shorter the barrel the easier it is to use where I hunt. The longer barrel puts the sights further apart, which makes accuracy easier. I like the longer barrels mainly for looks. Short barrels are easier to get through the thick stuff though.

Looks great with that extra length It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
