Yeah totally man. Once the heads are off, you just unbolt the plastic retainer and they pull right out. It's too easy not to do. I say if you've got the money. More quality insurance in your motor knowing you have better/newer parts in there. Especially one's that are known to fail on occasion.

Change them out. Changed to a .590 lift situation and I didn't replace the lifters on my 98. Wrong move, and had to do it after. #4 intake had the plunger on a 30 degree tilt. I used the GMPP LS7 lifters for ~$120 from Jim Pace.
