I can say with 100% certainty that "Recommend" does factor in all bonuses, including faction. I had Autobots in my team including Episode Sideswipe (who's decently strong) and the new Episode Snarl. Once I finished MTM'ing Episode Bonecrusher, "Recommend" removed Sideswipe, Snarl and Sky Lynx in favor of Rippersnapper, Reflector and Episode Divebomb each of which are weaker but my Deck Power increased. It must be factoring faction bonuses.
