I have to say that I like them all, but would pick one of the 9422 rifles if I had to choose only one. There is at least one example each of Winchester, Marlin, Ithaca, Browning and Henry in this pic.

I had a Henry H001 years ago and I liked it. Now I own a couple of Marlin 39s including a 39TDS and they are higher quality rifles than the Henry I owned. My 39 TDS is one of my favorite firearms. It’s not the most accurate 22LR rifle I own, but it’s accurate enough and very handy.
I have Henry's, some might say they have cheap parts.
My BL22 is great, but smallish for a grown man.
The Winchester 9422xtr in my safe is as good as they get.
I dont have a marlin 39a. I want one! I like take-down guns.
I would suggest the iconic 39a to anyone looking for a .22lever action.
My JM Marlin 39A with XS Ghost Ring sights does everything that I could expect of a .22 rifle. It handles everything from original Colibris up through Stingers without a bauble.
I saw this on sale on Bud's website a few years ago for $319 and had to have it. Uberti Silver Boy. Took it on a rabbit hunt last year to Southern Idaho and didn't see a single rabbit, but I did have fun plinking with it. Only negative is a very, very light trigger. Under 2lbs.
My only lever action 22 is a relatively recent Henry Golden Boy and it has the smoothest action of any firearm I have handled. My Marlin 1894c (38/357) and my old Winchester Model 94 (from around 1965 or older) really do not compare in smoothness. Never had an issue.
