What is HTC's recommendation on Vsync?  On or off?

on.

if they're out of sync, what you see on your screen might not be reflected properly in the data transmission (i.e. hit packets) to HTC.  

can we say....  "rubber bullets"

i knew we could.

:D

at least that's how i understand it....

I've tried both ways and.......

I cannot tell any difference. I appreciate that with vsync off you are not seeing all frames but I have never fully agreed with the "Rubber bullets" syndrome. Agreed you might possibly miss hit sprites on your FE but vsync on or off should make no difference to the damage reported to the host, so if you hit him often enough he should go down. Your monitor is an output device (it reports what has happened it does not tell the host what you have done). Hell turn it off and use the force :D So... IMO it should make no difference other than in extreme cases where your system is dropping a lot of frames and you do not see all your hits registered but they still happen. (But then again I can't hit S**T so what do I know). :)
