Of those you listed in the OP, My kids have a Crickett and a Savage Cub. The Savage is a much better made rifle IMO, and has that sweet, sweet Accu-Trigger that will spoil your kids for stock triggers the rest of their lives.

The downside is that the Savage is bigger and heavier than the Crickett, but it isn't an issue for my 9 & 11 year olds now - they've been shooting for about 3 years.
