Does anyone know if these can be reused (assuming they appear to be in good condition), or should I buy new ones?

Simon,
I'd imagine the gasket material is the same as used on the 6 cylinder engines. The heat generated at the exhaust manifold, plus the torque supplied by the manifold bolts distorts the gasket, even tho it may look OK. I'd highly recommend you replace it. It is much easier than dealing with a manifold exhaust leak down the road,
