My Two Cents About My Two Applicable Rifles:
1. DSA SA58 (close enough to a FAL to be included in this discusion?)
It hangs up (stove pipes, mostly) with several brands of ammo, and it may be about 2MOA at best. Mounting a scope on it is not too bad (at least with DSA extreme duty mount) but removing and replacing the mount is not straight-forward, so I just leave it on and clean around it (under it). Overall, I wish it were more accurate and less likely to malfunction.
2. H&K HK91
Easily 2MOA with Portuguese surplus, and close to 1-1/2MOA with expensive ammo.
It NEVER malfunctions - I don't care what I feed it. True, the empties land somewhere in the next county, but that's OK with me.
With its claw scope mount, I can very easily remove and replace the scope and it returns to zero well.
Some find the bolt difficult to disassemble to clean it, but after doing it a few times, I find it easy to do and prefer to clean it rather than the gas port and other parts of the FAL. (I have to admit - the HK91 bolt does get dirty!)
Of the two, if I had to choose, my choice would be the HK91 without hesitation.
