Default Intake gaskets?

Is it ok to use the same intake gaskets again or replace them with new ones, i got a messed up knock sensor and just wondering if its better to use new ones or just keep the same ones

the only time i ever replaced mine was when i was chaseing down i funny miss after a nitrous backfire. turned out to be a cracked intake and not the gasket.

if you look at it and dont see anything wrong with it then i wouldn't waste the money on a new one. same goes for the pan and valve covers and front cover and water pump.

the water pump gaskets do seem to not always come off nice and i have swaped them a few times just because they didn't look great.
