Which GBB pistol is most accurate?

All of them, and none of them.

Accuracy tends to be a huge collection of factors, and pretty much any pistol can be made more than accurate enough. If you're sweating over the millimetres, then the only advice I can give for maximum accuracy is to find something that has a good quality aftermarket TDC hop unit, an outer barrel that doesn't move around too much, a good hop bucking, and probably a 6.05 or 6.08 inner barrel (as a 6.23 widebore would likely see a significant dip in power on a GBB pistol that would actually hurt the accuracy). If it was a target pistol, I'd make sure the hop setup can handle it, then run .48s through it for the most consistency in the BB flight path, but I wouldn't do that in game because it's my opinion that people who run .48s in pistols are being a dick, and the golden rule of airsoft is "don't be a dick". In game I run .32s in my pistols for the trade off between performance and etiquette (and cost!)
 
There is no overall winner.
Longer barrel helps but there is variation even between the same model

You want something without a hop up (it imparts back spin onto the projectile to get more range but very inaccurate for target shooting) and something that uses Co2 or Compressed Air so you can push the power.

Honestly an Air Pistol such as those that take a rotary magazine https://www.thewolfman.co.uk/air-pistols/walther-cp88-177-nickel.html will be much better for the purpose.

If its for the Manuel of Arms and a bit of "Recoil" a GHK Glock with a steel slide kicks the hardest by far.
 
Recommendations please: I know TM is OK, which other brand / model is accurate too?
 
The blunt truth is out the box they are all much of a much. Airsoft guns are inherently inaccurate and you are doing well if you can get your shots to land in a 10cm square at 20ish metres. TM is generally recommended 1 they have better build quality than other manufactures ( most of which are just clones of TM) and 2 most after market parts are built to TM specs. IPSC Airsoft shooters tend to run TM based Hi Capas but spend stupid amounts of money to get to the levels of performance they want.
 
I have a VFC Glock 45 with a TTI TDC hop chamber, Unicorn barrel + bucking and run on CO2. Its accuracy exceeds my shooting ability. It's pretty good to probably 30 metres, maybe more.

But i think they're all fairly inaccurate.

I'll second this. Hi-capas have been competition grade airsoft pistols since I started this hobby as a teenager; Mike Cripps was a competition shooter who specialised in building hi-capas to a very very high standard back in the day, and we still have a stupid amount of aftermarket parts around for the hi-capa.

However, as has been said, they're absolutely and unavoidably inaccurate compared to real firearms as smoothbore guns firing spherical projectiles have never been renowned for their accuracy. Way back in the day somebody tried making a rifled barrel for airsoft and it just performed horribly, however, so our smoothbore guns firing magnus-effect-abusing spherical projectiles the best we got.
 
Where do you do your target shooting?

Would an air pistol not be a better choice, plus then you're not dealing with rebounding BBs?
