Is there any proof that the Bible God is any better than other Gods of Pagans?...

God is the basis for morality and sets the rules for morality right. So the argument is moot... if one believes in the Biblical God, their morals are based on Him. If one believes in a Pagan God their morals are based on that God. So to ask how one could be "morally better", you'd have to ask by whose standards? The God of the Bible, the Pagan God, or the standard that man thinks is moral which would be disputed by anyone believing in a God?
Actually the bible God is better because He is a combination of many of the others.
What you need to remember is that the bible was compiled under the auspices of the roman emperor Constantine in an attempt to bring all of the various belief systems of the empire under a common faith.
The result was to be the universal or catholic faith. The word Catholic is derived from the Greek adjective ????????? (katholikos), meaning "universal".
There is nothing wrong with this and I do not mean for it to sound derogatory. You just need to realize that it is an amalgamation of the various faiths and the dogma and theology of these belief systems. Even assuming benevolence on the part of Constantine’s people, making this all make sense would have been a monumental task.
The bible relied heavily on Jewish scripture and the New Testament was highly modified to support Paul’s teachings, which included such localized ideas as blood sacrifices to wash away sins, virgin births and resurrection of deceased deities.
Sadly much of the central part of the Jesus theology was lost in the blended mythology. A mythology was created around a great teacher comparable to the Buddha and he was turned into an amalgam of all of the Mediterranean deities. His teachings on love and non-judgment were all but lost in a maze of judgmental often-vindictive gibberish that he would have never agreed with.
Sadly some of the greatest teachings of all time were all but lost in Rome’s effort to be all thing to all people

...If so what exactly is it? No Bible quotes please. Actual evidence -- what proof do we have that the Bible God is in any way morally better than Pagan Gods?

What do you mean? The highest of the Pagan Gods is no different to God from the bible - different names, same creator. But as for how moral they are - unless the God themselves asks for sacrifices or anything morally bad - they are often all good with strong love and power. I've never heard anybody say a Pagan God was less moral or less "good" than the Abrahamic God.
