New all the way. If you use used you need to get things dead on to the way they were run last or they will be noisy.

As cheap as gear sets are, you'd be foolish going with used gears. Once gears are steup in a car, if you put them in another rearend, the true track of the original setup will always be burnt into the gear set and you will have noise.
