Your run of the mill FAL should turn 3-4MOA with decent ball ammo.
An issue grade M1A will do similarly. (Notice I said ISSUE grade, not match prepped.)
From a pure accuracy standpoint, the two will be about equal. The biggest advantages an M1A will have over a FAL is the following:
1. better, more precisely adjustable sights on the M1A
2. better, cleaner/lighter, trigger
3. ability to use a sling WITHOUT affecting point of impact.
