Hi guys,
"All recommendations should be respected." 'Respect' is not a good or common word here. It does not really suggest any concrete action.
"All recommendations should be complied with." 'Comply with' is not a good or common choice here. It is normally used with rules, regulations, commands. These are all stronger words than 'recommendations'.

Respect is earned, compliance is usually out of fear of consequences.
