Unless the submitter is stuck or asks for it, I avoid giving recommended changes on code reviews and instead just explain what (bad) consequences pieces of code have. Providing recommendations takes away autonomy from the person who wants to contribute, and it's easy to end up glossing over the real consequences and ending up with "well, I would have done it this way" nit picking reviews.
