Id go for recon to be on the safe side as you dont know what condition one off a breaker will be in.

In all honesty if a 5th gear and say syncro went and was then replaced, the box could be sold as a recon.
As with an engine!
Be careful when buying a recon. make sure you get what you're paying for
