Muzzle brakes will indirectly increase your accuracy, as the rifle will recoil less and you won't react as much to it (of course, this is depending on what kind of shooter you are). But for the rifle's inherent accuracy there's no difference.

Theoretically (though not measurable), a rifle with a muzzle brake is more likely to be less accurate on it's own, but as we know the human part of the equation will have the greatest impact on the placement of your shots.
