Hammerhead makes a full line of barrels, most people refer to the rifled barrels they sell though. For me, rifling does absolutely nothing to improve accuracy. It's been proven time and again that the largest factor in accuracy is paint-to-bore match.

As for a great all-around barrel, I prefer the J&J Ceramic in 12"-14" of length. Quiet, accurate, and if you have a ball break, you can "shoot it clean" due to the teflon and ceramic interior which lowers drag and prevents the paint from sticking to the interior surfaces of the bore.
