The reason to pick up armored recon companies is that you can give your light tanks the basic high velocity gun, which will push your piercing up for the division overall by a large amount. You can also throw a dozer blade on there to get an extra point of entrenchment (as +1% to all stats on the defense is rather useful for the minimal cost) and it does apply the armor value of the light tanks across the whole of the division. Ultimately, reconnaissance is a +1% per point if you succeed in countering the enemy, 0% otherwise. So a dozer blade equipped armored recon company is better than an armored car company on the defense in that alone. They're also better than armored cars in a lot of terrain types, while also boosting a low-width division's piercing to a rather high degree.

What mod are you using to get coloured symbols for stats and equipment cost in the division designer?
