Depends a bit on what you want to attract, Sarah.  In the country, a thistle
feeder would be fun.  You'd get goldfinches, siskins, and maybe redpolls, and
it could take the wind, and squirrels can't get at them.  House Sparrows have
managed to figure mine out--but I'm unlucky.  

Also, hanging feeders, with a large inverted plastic bowl are effective
against squirrels, and you can load them with any kind of seed you wish.
Lastly, you can mount a feeder on a pole (stable in wind), and put a squirrel
guard on the pole.

Good luck.
