Some metal gaskets you can reuse; sometimes have to bake to reshape. How 'bout the stock GM gaskets? Or is this a must get new ones...
My friend google let me down, so hoping for an informed answer from the crowd.

I've cleaned and reused several different sets. If they aren't burnt around the port exit area they are good to go. I've reuesd all the gaskets at least once.
That is all but the head gaskets.
