I know this post is a bit older, but thought I would respond anyway.
It really depends on what you are hunting the coyotes for. Most people that hunt them for the pelts FAR prefer the .17HMR. This is because of the minimal size of the hole, giving them a more valuable pelt.
I used to follow the forums at coyotegods.com for some good info. Unfortunately I never really was able to get into the coyotes, though I would still love to learn.
However, if you are just out for fun (Shh...don't tell PETA) you can knock them down with just about anything from the .17 on up through the magnum rifles that will turn the animal inside out.
