Default What Gaskets do I need for engine rebuild, any kits?

I have a 2000 ls1 that I am freshening up.

Since the motor is currently all torn down to the block, I need all the gaskets required to put it back together. I am looking at this kit, however I feel like it includes many gaskets that I won't need, since some are reusable.

So what gaskets do I need. I am not trying to cut corners here, I just don't want to replace things that don't need replacing.

Any kits?

That is way too expensive. AZ is actually one of the last places I buy anything. That same VR kit is $300 on ebay. I've been looking recently because I'm putting a LQ4 back together. I've been seeing full kits in the $200-$300 range. As much as I hate small block Chevys I sure miss being able to use a $25 gasket kit lol.
