Very good question, I think we will have to wait a few months before anyone can give a sure answer. My guts tell me accuracy becuse post CU damage will no longer be random in the damage interval of the weapon, instead it will be based on accuracy/defence (so for example if you start Center of Being giving you a defence bonus your opponents not only will start missing you more, they will also do less damage to you when they hit).

I hate to say it, but it looks like both! M Pistols, M Smuggler, BH 0040 on TC, and between the slow shots (had some Assault armor pieces equiped) and the large number of missed shots, I felt pretty darn useless, and the fight dragged on quite a bit. The 3k+ Health bar helped though, swarms of lvl 35+ Corsairs couldnt touch me unless I accidentally hit Last Ditch... (oops) Of course,it didnt help to have dizzy seeming totake no effect on their ability to stand, and KDs almost always resisted. Dissarming shot only stopped 1 attack from being fired, Rooting them lasted an amazing short time, and my best damage attacks with 701 max weapons did a little over 1k each hit. Color me unimpressed with "crowd controll."

If you don't want me to "play the forums," then I suggest you make time playing the game more rewarding and less repetitive than "playing" here!
READ THIS before telling me I cannot complain about Smuggler

I tested several templates based on pistols and other range weapons. Mbh/Master pistols/rifle0440, MCommando/Master Rilfes, Master COM/Master smuggler/pistols 0444 and I did'nt really miss very much at all ever, pve pvp. I think speed will be more important, but you might want to do tests yourself.
