23andMe looks like the most accurate in your case.
Yes, 23andMe is the most accurate for iberians. Most Portuguese get anywhere from 97-100% Iberian now with the new update. But AncestryDNA is what I use for my raw data for g25 bc it's more accurate. I plot perfectly within the western Iberian cluster :)
 
Damn, despite the genepool of MH/Database is kinda bruh the genetis groups looks rly good, i get 1 from Portugal and other from Porto e Aveiro, idk if means anything recent, by looking at what ppl usually get prob it is

Mine got my regions well… assuming the matches are based on relatives it would make sense. I also get a lot in Guarda, and aveiro as well

Your 23andMe look the most accurate, but Ancestry is pretty good too! I think the biggest difference between them is that Ancestry overcompensates a bit for the British Isles and hides some of that North African DNA, interesting that you get 8% North African at MyHeritage, I thought they hid North African DNA, because I get 0% of that.

My heritage doesn't hide the north African for iberians. You can look up "myheritage Portuguese" and see some examples
