Because the Recon Armor looks really cool and I'm kinda tired of always using the Service Armor for the past few months of playing Fallout 76

Honestly, they're very comparable. BOS recon armor slightly better for Damage Resistance, whereas the Secret Service Armor is better for Energy Resistance and Radiation Resistance. Both will serve you well and perk cards etc can be used to bolster stats if need be.
