I use the Remington 700 LVSF in 22-250 with a 55gr winchester ballistic silvertip bullet for coyotes myself.

out of your list, the .243 would be my choice. BUT if I don't have to pick one out of your list, I'll stick with my .204 in the AR.

I use an old Stevens model 73 .22 with open sights, but it isn't the best thing to use. I keep the shots close and the .22 keeps dropping them so I'm happy with it.

If I were to buy a gun just for coyotes, it would probably be a 204 like others have mentioned.

Out of your list the 243 wins hands down due to more than enough killing power without to much recoil,you can get some 55 or 58 grain factory loaded ammo that will kill any coyote as far away as you can hit it and even farther.I use a 223 and it does quit well.
