One year recalc is more likley to provide surprises than 3 year recalc in my experience. After using 3 year recalc for many leagues I now only use one year recalc with real transactions and real lineups and it's my favorite historical set-up.
Recalc is ideal for the setup you're using. I think the bugaboo with recalc occurs when you allow players to play past their real life retirement. I'm just not convinced that the development engine kicks in when the game no longer has usable stats to recalc. When I go 100% development engine, I see players career arcs represented much more realistically.
