Part of the problem with accuracy of chrome in the bore is that the rifle is bored larger to allow space for a surface of chrome plating. Depending on the skill level of the plater, variances in the thickness of plating can adversely affect accuracy. Your best barrel makers can have accuracy with a chromed bore on par with non-chrome. Generic no-names chrome plated barrels may or may not be accurate in a given barrel.
Nitrided barrels or stainless steel barrels seem to address the corrosion issue but chrome barrels still seem to last longer. Recently the longrunning AR15.com thread on battlefield Vegas had the owner mention that in their usage (a lot of full auto mag dumps here)--the chromed barrels seems to outlast the nitrided barrels-possibly because of the heat generated. Some military tests also seem to indicate the same thing--barrels are better protected by chrome than nitriding in rapid fire situations. Like anything, it is a cost benefit analysis depending on what you want from a barrel.
